Anything other than Icecap ballast

[SWINGRRRR]

Does anyone know of any ballast I can get at Lowes or HD that will drive 2 160W VHO's?

I'm on my second 430 and am tired of blowing fuses.

I know I have them hooked up correctly. I got them used from a LFS, but none of them are working, and of course, no refunds on used stuff.
I can send them back to Icecap, but I dont know how much it'll be to fix it.

I do know they sell a HO ballast, don't know if it will fire a VHO though, never tried before, but not a VHO ballast at Lowes or HD. Try a Work Horse??

yeah, try the workhorse ballasts by Fulham. They will do it and are not that expensive. Try reefgeek.

Or, you could look into the ARO VHO electronic ballast which costs less, comes with a power cord and works great.

Or, just check with Ice Cap - it may be under warranty and they usually have great customer service.

I would say go with just a Work Horse ballast a 5 or 7
