    Are you sure it's a 300 watt cfl not a 250 cfl..
    I am pretty sure it's ok.

    There are 300w dual cfl's which basicly just are 1x125w blue and 1x125w red combined so half the side is red and half is blue.

    Nah, CFL's don't need a contactor, they don't have that massive start up WHOOMPH that HPS/MH ballasts do
