T-5 and VHO question

[boydx6]

Has anyone used 2 T-5 bulbs and 2 VHO bulbs running off the same IceCap 660 ballast, and is this even possible?

Boydx6,

Post on the IceCap forum, but I believe they can fire 4 - 48" bulbs so it should work.

Cheers,
Chris

the 660 can run 4-48" bulbs but i dont think that you can mix vho and T5 on the ballist.i dont even think the 660 runs T5's,but maybe im wrong.i thought the 660 was a vho ballist.

The 660 can run either T5 or T12 lamps. I don't believe mixing the various diameter lamps on the same ballast is an issue but I would confirm this on the IceCap forum.

Per IceCapService on the IceCap board, as long as it is 16ft or less it will work.
