430 Ballast Question

[ETGTS]

Hi!
Can the 430 power 1 six foot VHO lamp(160W), and 2 four foot NO lamps(40W)? I know that this will exceed the recommended length of 12 feet, but i was wondering if there was an exception because of the lower wattage NO lamps.

Thanks!

From IceCap:
The 12 foot rule still holds. Using two six-foot lamps on a Model 430 is your highest output application on that ballast and most efficient use of energy (light output per watt).

Can I power 3 four foot bulbs with the 430? It sure sounds like it.

It will handle 3 x 4 foot VHO's with no problem. For other applications see http://www.icecapinc.com.
