48" T5 AquaSun 10K High Output Lamp from URI/UVL
* 54W on Standard HO Ballast
* 85W on IceCap Ballast

that would be a switch for IceCap, they used to use HO ballast to run VHO bulbs claiming energy savings, or higher output from NO bulbs, I have wondered if you could run a T5 bulb at VHO power levels but wasn't interested enough to go buy one and try it.. I wonder if this is what there doing or is it just hype like befor?
