What would happened if you wired a 240v ballast and a 120 v ballast into a heavy duty timer?

The timer has to be multi-pole. The ballast must be connected to the load contacts of the timer. If the timer is a 120 Volt timer, the timer has to run on a 120V. circuit. Loads are loads, and as long as you have a multi-load timer you can hook up whatever you want. If the timer only works on a shared power source (load shares the timer supply) you will need to use a contactor on the load side or the timer.

Where is the ballast in strip lighting?
The ballast for strip lighting is in the wire raceway. Strip lighting is bolted together in sections. Every section has a ballast for ever set of lamps that hang below the wire way. When wired, these ballasts are all parallel connected together and when sourced with voltage they will all come on at once. The whole strip of lighting will illuminate.
Is polarity important with fluorescent under cabinet lights?
Yes, polarity is always important. Many under cabinet fluorescent fixtures are small enough to use a small transformer rather than a ballast. But even then, the transformer will have a longer life if it's wired with correct polarity.
Why did the new light fixture fizzle out when you wired it?
You likely wired it wrong. Not sure what you mean by "fizzle out".

Does a ballast use electricity if no bulbs are present?
If you mean the ballast in a fluorescent light fitting where the ballast is wired in series with the tube, the answer is "No". Explanation: If no tube is in place, the light fitting's circuit is "open" so there is nothing to take any current from the "hot" supply wire and return it to the "neutral" wire.
How does an automatic lighthouse work?
Well First there is a timer, or if the light house doesn't have a timer then somewhere there is a base that can use a ( wireless or wired ) frequency to atomaticly turn it on it very simple if you think about it.

Is there a timer for a 3 prong plug with horizontal prongs?
In North America a receptacle with horizontal blades is rated for 15 amps 240 volts. These types of receptacles are usually dedicated circuits for specialized equipment. There is one that is used for air conditioners that is rated for up to 2 horsepower. The timer plugs into the 240 volt receptacle and the air conditioner plugs into the timer. There are also timers that can be hard wired into the circuit that will do the job. Do a search for Intermatic HB112 heavy duty 24-hour plug-in analog timer.See related links below
How do you connect 250 watt bulb into a ballast?
If the 250 watt bulb is a HID or similar type the ballast comes complete with the fixture. The bulb socket is also part of the fixture and comes pre-wired to the socket. To connect the bulb to the fixture all that has to be done is just screw it into the fixture's socket.

How do you wire 3 - 4' fluorescent light fixtures end to end to 1 ballast?
More information is needed to answer this. We need the ballast and bulb type. If this ballast is not made to do what you want then it should not be done. It can cause damage to the ballast and cause fire.
How do you replace flouresent bulbs?
The long, tubular ones usually rotate and slide out. The curly ones have standard light fittings. Remember to dispose of the old bulb in a designated re-cycling container for them because they contain mercury which will harm people if it gets into the environment (do not break the tubes).
Can an overhead 400W light with built in ballast that is currently wired to use 480V be rewired to use 120V?
Only if the ballast is a multi tap ballast.:Even if you could install a 120V ballast, or tap it to 120V with the existing one, Current may become an issue. To run the 400W light (sodium?) Now instead of the .833 amp range it's more like 3.33 amps. Supply wiring would have to be able to handle that. Those types of lights are often on long runs to building and grounds lights, parking lots, etc. Using 480 saves a lot on wiring costs.
