VHO ballasts

[speed_freak03]

I have a few quesitons about the workhorse 7 ballast. It says its good up to 220 watts, so would it be good to fire (2) 36" VHO bulbs (total 190 watts). It should work in therory.

 

Also, if anyone else has the name and part number of a good (2) 36" VHO ballast, please give me some info on it.

 

Also can I use any ballast that either allows up to 190 or 95 (would need 2 ballasts) each?

 

Thanks:)

The Workhorse is a good ballast, but for VHO I would get a ballast designed for VHO lighting. Here is an excellant and inexpensive VHO ballast. Add end caps and lamps and still be under $100.

The workhorse 7 will work fine, as will the one recommended above.
