Aro Vho ballast

[moondoggy4]

I have the Aro VHO A220 ballast that is for a two bulb configuration. I want to run it on my 24'' tank, 33 gallon. Can I put two 40 watt bulbs or 75 watt bulbs on it. Thanks in advance

moondoggy4,

As long as you are using a VHO T12 bulb you should be able to power them with this ballast. Please copy and paste the link below for more information. Thank you.

Thanks for the link That is the exact unit that I have. I will be ordering two end cap mounting brackets and two bulbs. I guess my confusion is that I know that there is a max that the ballast will run but say I run two 40 watt bulbs that will be 80 watts total or 220 watts running two 40 watt bulbs so they will be over driven. I hope this makes since I have to be very cautious in Ca elec is very expensive.
