t-5 ballast

[Darth-Tater]

Do power compact ballasts power t-5 bulbs? Or will a workhorse 5 or 7 power them?

David,
I don't believe the pc will do it but the wh5 and 7 work great. You need one? I'm fixing to have a garage sale.

Yes, and Yes. I have retro'd a 2x55W PC strip light (48") with two 54W T5HO and it has worked fine for well over a year. As long as the wattage is close the Workhorse ballast should work fine also.

[Darth-Tater]

Thanks to both of you. BB which workhorse do you have in the sale if it is a 7 I am interested.

The 7 works great! I had them on my old tanks.
