What size ballast will I need to run a 6ft bulb? I looked on hellolights and there ballast said only 4ft bulbs.

Im guessing it would depend on the wattage and ballast.

Are you referring to a 6 ft. VHO bulb? If so its 160 watts.

For flourecents I was told by HL that depending on the ballast you can run up to [?] feet of bulbs. All ballast are different (so depending) and then there are the bulbs.

Monica you can call HL and they will answer everything for you then if you are unsure post again ... :)

I guess Im try to say just one bulb as opposed to more than one ...
