Workhorse Ballast For T5??

bigbris1 · 02-14-2008, 04:00 PM

I'm about to order a 2 x 24W T5 retro kit from Hellolights which comes with 1 Advance programmed ballast. Add to my order 1 extra power cord & extra 18g wire.

I plan buy add another ballast (elsewhere) so that I can operate the 2 bulbs independently. Which Workhorse ballast would I need to add?

Thanks!!

I'm picking up a couple Workhorse5's from a member so hopefully, they won't be overkill. Also, I want to be able to add bulbs later on if I like.

Thanks for the help!

Man, I just got off the phone with Fullham & they said if I connect 1 WH5 to 1 24W T5 it will overdrive the bulb. I don't want to start a fire, what do you think?

Vir, I may have to take you up on that Workhorse 3, call me.
