I am considering using T5's on my next project and I was looking around diyreef.com and saw thier URI T5 bulbs indicating they will run on either a standard HO ballast for 54W or with an icecap ballast 85W. After inquiring I was told that an Icecap 660 would run 4 of these bulbs at 85W each.
I was wondering if anyone has done this? (or ODNO on any T5 for that matter).
If I really can get 85W out a t5, combined with good individula parabolic reflectors, I might be able to get away with just 4 bulbs instead of 6 and just 1 ballast.
