Cheap VHO Ballast

[degibson84]

I'm looking for some ballasts to run 4 72" VHO bulbs. My father in law picked up 2 Phillips advance ballasts for $40 each and was wondering if these would power two bulbs each.

I do not think so only runs two 75 watt bulbs that would be two 24'' VHO's

You need to have 50 posts and also be a member for 90 days before you can see the for sale section.


Just a heads up on why you can't visit those links.

Sorry I saw your count post there is enough there but you do not have 90 days. Go on Helios and Champion Lighting and look at there VHO ballast to see what wattage they use for a 72'' model.
My dual 24'' Aro unit uses 150 watts, so the ballast you choose would not be enough wattage.
