Problems with custom lights?
i Plan on Using a dual 8ft t12 fixture and using the ballast for a dual 24" vho setup. The 8ft is rated at 85 watts a bulb.... The 24" vho is 75w a bulb... work? not work?

Re: Problems with custom lights?
The ballast has to be rated at or above what the wattage of the lites are, that is just the bottom line as far as I am concerned. It is better to overdrive the bulb.
