Hello everyone. I am using a Current USA 2x150 hqi and a 2x130 PC setup now. I am wanting to upgrade on some of the lights. I was think my current PC ballasts could run T5's. The ballast is a Sunpak 1777 ballast and is rated for 130 watts. Could I use one of the ballast to run 2, 54 watt T5's? I know the wattage seems close but dont know if it will work. I also had plans to do a 250 watt HQI retrofit and enlarge the openings a bit on my current fixture and replace the ballasts so I could run 250 HQI's with 2 T5 Actinics. Does this sound do-able? If so what is the best 03 Actinic bulb for the T5. I was going to run 10K 250's and need the added blue.
