..Sorry dude..a lot of the vho vs. no seems to be true. I think its funny even Icecap admits this(...as STEVE says,heres some ref. from Icecap:

Seems that 660's are better at making NO hotter (brighter but shorter lived) than their stated use as a VHO E-ballast. But @ $2.50 to $5.00 for No (GE @ C.T. or the 6500k daylight delux @ Home depot) I can blast a lot of tubes before it costs as much as VHO bulbs.

Does anyone know if the Work Horse ballast overdrives NO also....a difference in wiring??...
