20. A multiple discharge load electronic ballast system, comprising:

  • means for receiving electrical power from a utility source and responsively providing a direct current (DC) distribution voltage having a nominal distribution power;

    means for distributing the DC distribution voltage to multiple distributed outputs;

    means for converting the DC distribution voltage at each distributed output into a respective local DC voltage output; and

    means for inverting each respective local DC voltage output into a respective alternating current (AC) end output having a peak power, wherein the nominal distribution power is less than a sum of the peak power of each of the AC end outputs.
