T5's and workhorse 7 question
Im currently running 4-54w T5 's with a workhorse 7 ballast. Im planning on adding two more T5 bulbs. My question is. Would I have to get another ballast or could I rewire my workhorse 7 to power up 6- 54W T5 bulbs? Any help or advice would be great
 Thanks |

You can only run up to 4 54W T5s on a WH7. You will need another ballast for the other 2 bulbs.

Nope. 4 is the max. Just run another WH7 or get one of the two bulb triads. Then you can run dusk/dawk with two of the bulbs.
