Workhorse 5 Enough for 4x24W T5?
The specs say it can power 2-4 24W T5 HOs, but all the 2x24W retro kits use a single workhorse 5.
My question is can this ballast really run 4 T5s by itself? |

Yes. Check the following documents, one is the lamp compatibility chart, the other the wiring diagrams. Lamp chart top of page 31 shows the WH5 can run 4 x F24 T5 HO and the wiring hookup to use is diagram 7. Four red wires, one to each lamp.
http://www.1000bulbs.com/pdf/Fulham-...t-brochure.pdf http://www.naturallighting.com/pdf_f...e_diagrams.pdf It can also run 2 or 3 lamps only if you wish. Extra red wires are capped when powering less than 4 lamps. Wiring diagrams 8 & 9.
