OD NO Fluorescents
 
I've got an advanced ballast that's rated at 1.3 amps, can I use this and run two NO actinics and overdrive them?.. how would I hook them up to do that? Or should I just go with one VHO actinic.

no it's not an electronic, Cat No. (can't find it on their cat.) RS-2s60-1-tp, it's rated for single or dual lamps, High power factor sound rated B Series Ballast. Says, it's for F48T12RapidStart/HO Lamps(2), also is rated for F48T12s F36T12s, F24T12s, two of each OR rated for 1 F64T12or F60T12...

So will this OD a NO fluorescent?

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the comment. I haven't seen HO Actinics though, so I guess I'm just sticking with NO.
