Triad electronic ballast?

I just bought a t-5 retro kit and didn't know the kit included a ballast its a triad universal electronic ballast. I looked on reefgeek.com and it says that its able to fire 2 t-5 54watt bulbs . Any idea if this ballast will fire vho lighting cause I have a couple vho endcaps and want to sell both of them as a kit? since I am going to be using a icecap 660 ballast to fire my t-5

Not for sure but the ballast should list the type of bulbs it is capable of running.

Yeah there is nothing on the ballast itself that indicates what type of bulbs it will fire.

do you know what model of ballast it is? Usually there is like a data stick showing type of bulb and wiring diagram.
