Does anyone have an IceCap 660 or something similar that will fire 4 X 48 Vho bulbs. I want to buy, not borrow, so let me know.

HD use to have a VHO ballast that fires 2 110W VHO's they ran $35 each. I was going to stop in and check today but forgot all about it till I got home. I might be going out again so I can double check. They are the ones used for the 8' bulbs but you can run them on VHO 4' ers. I've done it before.
They are not electronic just your standard tar ballast.

I was there today and the guy who was helping me could not find anything that fired 110's.Of course that does not mean a bunch.

Like cerreta said watch out for the ones that say 220V. If I remember, they are the ones that say they are of 110W 800ma they are the ones used to run 8ft normal output or high output bulbs. They can be used for 4' VHO and I even thin HO bulbs.
You may have to check a couple HD or possibly Lowes.

Scott,
if Philpper doesn't want them I'll take them, I just found 12 sets of waterproof endcaps for T12 bulbs in a box full of fish stuff:bounce1:
I got one light hooked up, so now I'll be transfering all the Red Sea, Elongata, Bali silvertip, portland pulser and the Fiji Xenia over to the 300G from the shop.

I went by HD the other day and did not see the ballast, that was the one on Oracle Rd. in Oro Valley. I did see an icecap 660 advertised of $139.00 today. If you haven't found one yet LMK and I will try and look back in my history and find it again.

Hey Scott,
I though he got them already, I just ordered 2 IceCap 660. I am going to run them on some T5's but for now I will run them on some VHO 110W, until I can afford the T5 upgrages.
Looks the the swap is going to be on the 15th of Oct. :bounce2: still have to work out some of the details, like time-food-drinks besides coffee.
