2x54w t5 ballast
« on: December 02, 2009, 18:46:58 »
Came home tonight to find only my atinics on. Either the ballast is gone or both bulbs died at the same time. Anyone have one laying around they'd like to sell, otherwise I'm ordering a workhorse tonight

Electrical Engineers do it on impulse, with faster rise times, with more power, and less resistance at higher frequencies, without shorts, until it Hertz

Yea... I'd want more LEDs. 89PAR on sand is a little low i think. It would cost be about $800 to do it... Ballast it cheaper for now  :laugh:

Anyone with a ballast? Im about to order one...
