Man, Icecap makes some other cool stuff, I see. T5 reflectors, variable speed fans, etc. NOT CHEEP. Looks top notch, though.

unless you have a T8 fixture that fits your space perfectly and want more umph.
Hilarious. I used that same technical term earlier myself. Talkin' 'bout lights, too (what else? ) And, actually, I do know a place where a couple T8 shoplights fit quite nicely . And punching through a canopy seems similar to pushing through some aquarium water, umph-wise.

Seems like if you cranked up a T8 it'd get more like a T5HO in terms of "bite." I don't get how these ballasts work, though. Says they'll drive combinations of different bulbs. How does each bulb know when to say "when" when guzzling down electricity? How many watts will a IC660 drive a 32W 4' NO T8 at? (Well, 4 of 'em, is the real question...) I'd think if I could get 4 regular old shoplights to burn 55W each, I'd be all over this. (Unless the heat is oppressive.)

Thanks! :stoned:
