So which ballast then??

Marko,

I do not think that you can go wrong with the Ice Cap VHO ballast. They are still a high quality ballast, extremely versatile and good customer support. With that said, it will be interesting to see the output that Darren will be measuring. I think the results might show that the output between all the ballasts are comparable, just that the Ice Cap uses less input for the same output. In which case it continues to be a great choice. Victor and Steve are exploring a cheaper alternative as seen in the DIY forum you might want to check out.
