Carlos,

I got the actinic pop I needed with the VHO mod. I also got some from switching to the 14k Phoenix bulbs. When they go out I'll probably replace them with a higher "K" rated bulb. Now that...

I think I'm sending a Coralvue ballast back that I just got. It only fires the bulb about 50% of the time while the other one fires 100%. I hope the wire mod didn't void the warranty!!!

It is on page 27. It is the repost I used. Awesome tutorial, you can see my tweak aroung page 28 or 29 if you do it. It will get you about an inch more wire to play with.

Re: ballast

I think with the T5's you can get away with the stock ballast but I'm not sure. I had to buy another ballast to upgrade to VHO's. You will need to check the wattage of the CF's in your size fixture...
