![]() It is possible to have a dimmable ballast fire more than two lamps.

![]() Ok I refraze - maybe possible but NOT designed to.
Talk to both Advance and Sylvania about this, I have and the above is the answer I got. if it was possible we would be using this method as it saves cost and lowers heat, it does not make economic sense to not do something if feasible. There are reasons why manufacturers advise otherise and when building a quality product it is ill advised to go against what they state. Last edited by Aqua-Digital; 11-17-2008 at 11:04 PM. |

![]() I am looking at advances electrical engineering 2009 right now and they are miss quoting you.
Just saying what our engineering book says. |

![]() Just trying to say you might want to check into other manufacturers for cheaper, but just as good tolerances if not better.
Advance is far from the best manufacturer. |

![]() Not quite sure why the head of technical in would miss quote but makes no odds really, the fauna lamp will run with 2 tubes on one ballast as this also ties in with the other electonics that are incorporated.
We have checked with other manufacturers also, the ballast to be used is NOT Advance ![]() Hope that helps Last edited by Aqua-Digital; 11-17-2008 at 11:05 PM. |

2 Will the LED's be independently controlled so you can have various numbers of them on per unit? And if so can this be controlled by the profilux to simulate the moon phase? 3 Is the dimming on a set parameter as in 100% or 50% or 0%. Or is it variable as in 0% all the way up to 100% ? 4 When you say there are further advances in dimming options later in the year do you know what these options are? and are these lights going incorporate something like the profilux and can be 100% upgradeable? 5 For the light to be off does it need to be hooked up to the Profilux power bar or will the dimmable part of the light be able to switch it off? Thanks Cam |

![]() 1 Will the power line be for power only, switching multiple tubes per unit, and with a separate control cable?
No the control cable will be within the powerline going into the control box 2 Will the LED's be independently controlled so you can have various numbers of them on per unit? And if so can this be controlled by the profilux to simulate the moon phase? No these will be independant and not controlled by the ProfiLux 3 Is the dimming on a set parameter as in 100% or 50% or 0%. Or is it variable as in 0% all the way up to 100% ? As with ALL GHL dimming capabilities it will be 0% to 100% 4 When you say there are further advances in dimming options later in the year do you know what these options are? and are these lights going incorporate something like the profilux and can be 100% upgradeable? Yes - 80watt dimmable, as for the profiLux, there will be an option to purchase a GHL Profilux light II to run the dimmable modules, if you want a profilux that is upgradeable then at time of purchase talk to your retailer about a deal on a ProfiLux plus II 5 For the light to be off does it need to be hooked up to the Profilux power bar or will the dimmable part of the light be able to switch it off? The lamp will be fitted with zero volt switching as standard |

![]() Can you clarify something for me?
Will the non-dimmable fixtures have only one cord also? If that's the case does that mean that if the fixture is not controlled with a GHL controller that all the lamps will turn on and and off at the same time? Also, will non-dimmable 24" 6 and 8 lamp fixtures be released in the first wave of released fixtures? (I just checked the sister thread on RC and see that a 6 lamp 24" fixture is the retail standard so you can ignore this question ![]() What is the standard fixture color?

As for reflectors, if you use the good stuff, and make 12 (12" x 24" ) finished size it would cost me about 15.00 per reflector Quote:
as for the difference between a shop light and fish light, only a couple ascetics, and bulbs. yes there is differences in some of the materials, one might be powder coated steel, the other aluminum.. ballasts, ect... there is not much more in cost aside from ballast and bulbs. Steve
