T-5 Ballast

I'm looking for a pretty good T-5 ballast, out of these two which is the better one Fulham Workhorse 7 T5 HO Fluorescent Ballasts or 4 x 54W Advance/Universal T5 HO Fluorescent Electronic Ballasts. Are these any good or is there better ones for around the same price ?

The Advance is a better ballast.

Workhorse ballasts were not created to run T5's. Someone just found out that they would work.

Triad, Vossloh Schwabe, AccuStart are all good brands to use. Contact Reefgeek and they will get you taken care of.

There are other sponsors here on RC that are worth calling if they are closer to where you are. Check out the Sponsor section.
