question about lighting
 
i was wondering if anyone could tell me a good store to get lighting from since big als in town here seems rather expensive.. and are the pfo ballasts for vho's any good??

What kind of lighting setup are you looking for?

I'm sure the PFO ballasts are fine but a "Workhorse" ballast does the same thing for 70$ A Workhorse 7 can run 2x110w VHO I know that forsure and costs fluxuate depending where you get it from.

Maybe do a search on "workhorse ballast" but I'm sure someone will chime in here and give you some better info.

The manufacturer is Fulham ( or Fullham ) ... I have 3 of them from Brite-lite in Calgary ... do a search here and I posted the Canadian distributor

Cheers

Rasta, are you using the workhorse to drive NO, CFL, or VHO.

NO for now and when they shift I will prolly put in VHO's

Look in the phone book (yellow) under lighing suppliers. We get our work horse ballast's from "Britelite" here in Calgary. I don't know if you have one in Edmonton but if so than that's probably the place to get them.

Yes you have to set up end caps for the bulb's which of course depends on the bulb's you use.
