No man I'm pretty positive that isnt how that works,I've heard of overdriving flo ballasts but thats something I'm not familiar with and its different I think.I would want to match my ballasts and lamps the same way I would with HID fixtures.If I'm wrong sorry bout that I'd doublecheck before doing something like that though

I thought it would be fine because the voltage would be split from the leads so instead of 40w to one 4' bulb I would be getting 20w to two 2' bulbs.
I have overdriven bulbs before and I understood it as putting two 40w leads to one 40w bulb to 'overdrive' it at 80w. This idea wouldn't work in reverse though?

nevermind, I'll just buy two of these and run 8 f17t8 off them

so is it possible to drive four 20w 24" tubes on a ballast made for two 40w 48" tubes? safely?

I wouldnt do it,ballast and lamp rating should match like HId's as far as I know
