F32T8 to drive 1 VHO?

Hi,

At the full rate current (which is in the vicinity of 1.2 to 1.6 A), VHO's output drops off like a rock and they only last about 6 months.

So, the VHOs with reduced current should help things. I believe Darren had a thread on driving VHOs with Workhorses. The F32T8X4 ballast is basically the WH5 in a black steel case.

One thing to note is that the VHOs have a different connector than the T8s. So, you'll need those fancy connectors (similar to those waterproof ones from Icecap).
