LF 36" T5 bulb

[captain7359]

I'm looking to see if anyone has used 36" T5HO bulbs they are looking to get rid of. I picked up a few NO ballasts and want to see if they can be made to run HO bulbs like some were doing with VHO T12. drop me a line if you have any avaliable.
Thanks,
Walter

It probably would work to light the bulb, but the bulbs would only be putting out as many watts as the ballast can handle. So it wouldn't be different then using NO bulbs.

walter check out this site there is not much sense in wasting you time and ruining bulbs with these prices...

Gary,
Have you ever gotten anything from them?

not yet I have seen others post on them I plan to order some of the 4x54w ballasts they will also run the shorter bulbs.

I don't think it would be worth it shipping isn't that much and one of us would have to ship to the other....
