Im looking at getting the 48" x6 t5 light fixture and does anyone know if it has 2 power supplies or just one if only 1 i will have to go with the 8 t5 fixture. I had the 8 bulb one about 4 years ago and found it had 2 power supplies so i was able to wire in separate power cords for dawn to dusk and the other for the main lights and still had it connected to the proper switches if i still wanted to turn them off manually but rewiring let me have them on separate timers.
I just dont want to use the 8 bulb because it will be over kill and cost more money so please anyone can you give me some info before my purchase please?
thanks,

It shows only one cord..

But I don't know how many ballasts it has.. but I suspect at least 2 and it could be rewired to split them onto different circuits

Thats what i was thinking to but wanted to get a sure confirmation on it from someone that accually had one. I know for sure the 8 bulb does but will be way overkill. The b bulb will be perfect if it has to ballast to rewire and control. I contacted BRS so we will see what they say.
