Is it possible to house IceCap ballasts inside the TX5 fixture? I'd like to add maybe one 660 or two 430s and replace the center bulb with moonlights.

Is there enough space in there for the ballasts?

RealFish,

No, it is not possible to house the IceCap ballasts inside the TX5s. The ballasts are just too big and there isn't enough room. This is why we came out with the Solar Flare. In order to use IC ballasts on the TX5, they would need to be remotely mounted outside the fixture. Please be aware that any modifications to the fixture will void any warranty.

Thank you,
