Lights and Hood
 

Hi, I'm about to start building my lighting system and my hood. My question is can 4 vho and 2 hallide fit in a 48"x18" hood ???

Cause I'm planning this :

2 vho actinic 12h/day
2 actinic whites 10h/day
2 hallide 5-6h/day

PS. Can a wh7 drive 2vhos cause I was planning using 2 wh7 or 2 hellolights ballast for my vhos.

thanks..

Not sure if you'll fit all that in, but yes, a workhorse 7 will run 2 48" VHO tubes.
Whether everything will fit or not depends on what type of reflectors you use.

Yes, if you mount the halides perallel to the length of the tank (though you won't get as good of a spread as mountingperpendicular) it can be done.

If I light 2 vhos with 1 wh7, will they be bright as if they were on an icecap or an hellolights ballast ???

PS. If I decide to go with the wh7, can some1 buy it and ship it to me cause here in montreal they doesn't seems to be available...

Although I haven't used those other ballasts, Stircrazy, who knows all about lighting, says they are the same. I use the WH7 with 2 48" tubes and am very happy with it. Check www.fulham.com for a distributor near you.

Thanks for the infos... I already have looked at fulham website but there's only 3 distributors listed for canada, 2 in BC and 1 in ON... Nothing for QC :mad: :mad: :mad:
