WTB: workhorse 7 ballast

[got2lb]

Just curious if anyone has a workhorse 7 ballast laying around they would want to part with?

One of my ballasts in my lights went out so instead of replacing it I may just get started on my T5 setup!

i dont have a workhorse but i do have 2 sets of 2x96 watt pc ballasts and bulbs that i'm looking to get rid of.....$100 takes them both

Can you wire them up to run T5s?

 

[glaspie69]

Check out naturallighting.com. its one of the cheapest sources for electronic ballasts I know of. They are very knowledgeable, and shipped me what I needed very quickly.

They do have Workhorse ballasts.

I did not have much time to look, but they do have a ballast on sale that will drive 2 - T5's for under $29.00.

Check them out.

[glaspie69]

They work to run T-5HO and alot of people on RC use them but there not made to run T-5HO. They shorting bulb life versus a real T-5 ballast. Something like not being program start or something like that.

 

[glaspie69]

thats weird mine say that they run t-5 right on the bottom of them

 

[Covey]

To the best of my knowledge that is what has been floating around RC.

If you look at fulhams webpage it shows right on there how to wire them up for HO T5's.

And I've also read that they shorten bulb life, and some people say they don't. Just like everything else on here!
