Question VHO and PC ballast question

Hey all. Thought I would turn to the DIY crowd for this one. I have a Custom Sea Life 2x96w ballast that I aquired. it has quick disconnects and all that good stuff.

My question is this: I have seen several ballasts taht will run either 2x96w PC or 2x 110w VHO lamps. Does anyone know if the Custom Sea Life Ballasts are capeable of the same? What would need to be done (if they are) to convert this to run VHO's.

Thanks.

i have wondered the same thing about my 4x65 pc fixture,u will have to check and see what ballast is in your lite fixture and go from there.

i think the workhorse ballast will drive either,there is a web site with wiring diagrams and all,but i lost my link.

happy hunting

heya!
open the case on the CSL box and see whats inside. my CSL's had workhorses in them. depending on whats in there you may be able to go T-5 atleast. Probably not VHO. See ya this weekend!
