Wanted: Ballast
 

Need a ballast that can be put in to a custom canopy 48" long. Needs to run 2 VHO's.

get a Work Horse 7. It can run 2 48" VHO tubes. It's cheep.

Brad how much are they

They're cheep!! You need to phone your local lighting supply company since I'm sure they're different everywhere. Mine was about $56.

can you hook up ice cap end capps with them.

sure.

you still have the ballast for sale there brad

how much

Nope, I just run down and buy it at the store. I can get you a price if you want...

Whats the difference between workhorse and coralife? Coralife is 299.99 at least and workhorse is 60. How long does workhorse last and does it burnout lights in 6 months?

I would assume the difference is one has a picture of a fishie on it. That will almost always add a couple of hundred to anything!!
Seriously, though, I doubt there is any difference at all. You'd need the specs from both to compare.
Where did the burnout in 6 months come from??

I recently went through something like that. I had an 2 X 55W Allglass PC strip light. One of the ballasts crapped out in less than two years. When Allglass replaced the ballast that had their name on it, it was a Workhorse. All I had to do was figure out how to repair the fixture. :rolleyes:

:eek:
Good info BOB!

Ya please Brad can you get me a price on the work horse ballast

thanks again ...

Are workhorse 7's a USA brand? Or are they just somthing used for lighting that is not an aquarium made brand?

We can get them in Calgary from a company called brite lite ... if you email the head office they will put you in touch with the Canadian distributor and then your local outlet

Cheers

I think there's a place in Coquitlam that has them. I believe there name is Albrite Lighting.
