How do they "naturally" overdrive the bulb? I realize that a 440 will put out 330w but a WH7 will do 220w. 2 4' T5's are only 108w total so the wh7 still has double the required power, wouldn't this be enough?

Where do you see this? I have went throught the icecap website and other then the T5 encaps I didn't find any other mention of T5s.
