    Default PC ballasts.

    Ok I have a thread in WTB about needing a ballast for 2x 96w PC. Mine is only firing one of my bulbs. I looked at the Icecap website as I like their MH ballasts. The only thing it really said was that the 430 handle up to 440w. I opened the "housing" of my ballast and found a generic looking flouro stick type ballast. First thought is, can I buy one at Hdepot? I looked around the Advance Ballasts site and only came up with about 70w PC ballasts.

    So can the Icecap run 2x 96w PC's? Can I buy a replacement ballast at a home improvement store for $20?

    I think they are $50 for two 96w or $20 something for 2-65w

    Will this one work?

    It's good up to 220w but I couldn't figure out if it would run multiples, not like there's a whole lot of 220w flouro bulbs around.
