Icecap ballasts do overdrive bulbs - that we do know... Not sure how they get the longer life while doing it however.

Do we know that Icecap gets longer lamp life? I have been shopping for t5's as well and the info I have been able to find is very contradictory from one source to the next. One retailer I trust tells me the IC 660 shortens lamp life because it is overdriven. He actually sells both Tek II(new version with the wh) and IC. With the growing interest in T5's I don't know why Tek would change the ballast from Triad to WH on their "new improved" version if it were detrimental to overall performance.
