Can you wire workhorse ballasts to t-5's?

yes, i have a workhorse 5 and 7 running t-5's for over a year. They are made to work with t-12,8,5 and pc. Just check your ballast or their website

cool thanks.How man bulbs are each ballast running?

Depends on the ballast and length of the bulb. Check the web site www.fulham.com I think.

One thing, the workhorse ballasts are not as good as normal T5 ballasts. They are a instant start ballast and do not have the end of life detection. So if you already have the ballast good, if not get the T5 ballast, they are not much more and are better for running t5 bulbs.
