Lighting question

[Fanof49ASU]

I want a 4 bulb (maybe 6) setup (T5's) for my 75. Ideally, I'd like to have each bulb on a separate timer.....to turn on/off independently.
Will this require separate ballasts?

sure will. That would cost quite a bit to do that. You can have a four bulb unit with two ballasts that operate two bulbs per. The six bulb unit i have over a 75 operates four bulbs on one, and two on the other. I'm not sure if the tek lights operate 3/1 or like mine. You could check around, but your not going to find a t-5 unit that has seperate ballasts for each bulb. It would be too cost prohibitive.

pm foggy54. He's the resident electrician around. He'll be able to give you something concrete.

Thanks.
That's what I was afraid of.

My 6-bulb tek retrofit uses 3 ballasts (each 2x54W).
