Ballast help

[Deleted member 82742]

I have a new ballast that I got for free!!! I am wondering if someone can help me figure out what I can use it for. The ballast is a Triad electronic ballast, B295SR277HP. It say use with R/S lamp type.

(2) F96T12HO
(2) F84T12HO
(2) F72T12HO
(2) FT96W/GY10q
Is this something I could use on my 4foot long tank or is this a bad idea?

Go here to start....the below is an excerpt:

Example: F30T12/CW/RS

"F" ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ fluorescent
"30" ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ rated nominal wattage

"T" ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ indicates shape; this lamp is shaped like a tube

"12" ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ diameter in eighths of an inch; this lamp is 12/8 (1.5) inches in diameter

"CW" ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ color; this lamp is a cool white lamp

"RS" ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ mode of starting; the lamp is a rapid-start lamp. Preheat lamps do not have "RS" as a suffix
