I Currently Have A 175w 14k Evc Wired To A Advance Magnetic Ballast. My Question Is Does It Matter What Size Wiring I Use? If I Happened To Use Smaller Wire Going To Bulb Than I Did From Plug To Ballast Will The Light Not Be As Bright?
 
Just make sure the gauge you are using is big enough to handle the current going through it. If it gets got enough it can melt the rubber insulator and cause a fire.
