Aro ballast from VHO to T5
Any recommendations?...how many feet of bulbs can I use with one Aro Ballast?....currently I am using it for 2 6ft VHO's and would like to convert to T5's.

think I found my own answer
Watts: Operates up to 440W. Bulb Length Limit: Do not exceed 16 feet in total bulb length so I may run 3 60" 80 Watt t-5's ? 15 ft of bulb @ 240 watts |

I actually just called them earlier...they said they dont recommend the Aro ballasts for t5...or the icecaps for t5s ...I read on the site that t5 and vho bulbs are fired differently. But it will work..whats some plus's and some drawbacks...brighter bulb/shorter bulb life?
