Anyone using the "VHO T5" lights?

Im shopping for some bulbs to go on a small prop setup and found these

http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...04+113174+2035

My prop tanks will be 36" wide and I would like to use T5 technology on the setup. The bulbs in the ad above are 60W 36" bulbs instead of the regular 39W 36" type. I have never seen these before... ?

I have a 220W electronic flourescent ballast that I want to use to drive them.

Any feedback on thse "VHO T5" bulbs?

heres the 50/50 version

Well it's T5HO/VHO, they are 39w when driven with T5 ballast and 60w with an Icecap ballast.
