![]() Hi,
I live in Vancouver and was wondering where I could purchase workhorse ballasts. I was also wondering how to wire it to run 2x36" VHO. Thanks |

![]() I got my wh7 at Albrite in PoCo( just off the Mary Hill bybass). I am running 2 36" VHO actinics with 2 wires going to each bulb and am quite happy with this setup. It is very bright and see no reason to shorten bulb life.

![]() I guess befor people get the wrong Idea I better mention this.. this is a electronic ballast not a tar (people are probably going "Duhhh tell us something I don't know now") I say this because that just by virtue of switching to a electronic ballast from a tar ballast your bulb life will be lengthened..
so when people say VHO bulbs only last 6 months on a TAR ballast on a WH (or other quality electronic ballast, they could last 1 year or more. I have been testing the light output of T8 24" hagen power glows over the l;ast two years and they have only lost 15% of there intensity in 2 years.. I atribute this to useing a electronic ballast. the bonus was that I also got 10% more light by switching to the electronic ballast over the tar one.. so if you realy read into this on a set of two year old bulbs I am only getting 5% lower output that a brand new set on a tar ballast. now will the VHO last to this extream? I am not sure but I have been doing measurments on my two bulbs and I am going to plot them untill they need to be changed.. Steve
