Hey, guys. Pretty sure this will work, but want to be positive before electrocute myself. I recently added LEDs to a set up I have. Turns out the ballast doesn't have enough oooomph to fire all the LEDs. Then I remembered that I have a second identical ballast and was thinking "screw buying a new one, I'll just run 2 seperate circuits". Question is: can I use a single APEX 1-10 (I only have 1 left open) wired parallel to dim both the ballast simultaneously??? Should work right??? Thanks guys. -A
 
Yes. For two would be fine. As you add more they won’t get as bright because of voltage drop so that’s as far as I would go.

For instance Kessil lights have a pass through for 0-10v dimming you can daisy chain them together. However the more you hook up the dimmer they get do to the voltage drop.

But yes go for it. Or you could buy a VDM module.
