Ballast ?

[SeaSydney]

I would like to make a DIY VHO setup. I would like to run 2 x 75watt VHO bulbs. Could someone give me the make and model # of a ballast that would run these bulbs - and where I can get these. Hoping that they can be found at the local Home Depot.

Thank you guys for all your help

Ice Cap makes ballasts that will do the job you wish. They are excellent ballasts IMO and the company is quite reliable.

i would look into a Fulham workhorse ballast. Go to there website and see if you can find the exact ballast you need or call them. For electronic ballasts they are pretty cheap.

I have heard good things about Fulham Workhorse ballasts also. Anyone know who sells them? I want to buy a workhorse 7 to power 2 - 110W VHO bulbs but I can't find them anywhere....

Go to Fulham website. Click on "Find Local Dealer" Punch in your zip and it will direct you to a few local authorized dealers. I just bought the Wh& for about $31.00ea. BTW, even though there site does not specify that they work on VHO's, they do.

What is the name and phone # of the store you bought them from for $31.00? I would like to know if they ship out of state.

Thanks

Contact Larry at Graybar Electric Company (AZ) 602-437-0375. They had to drop-ship to me, since they did not stock them, so I'm sure they would be happy to sell some to you as well. Prices were WH5 $21.35 & WH7 $31.25.
Cheers,

Thanks for the info. Did you buy just one, a couple or a case of them from Graybar?

I bought two WH7s and one WH5. They did not seem to have a minimum.
Cheers,

Do you guys have any good places to get end caps, like the ones that come from Ice Cap?

Thanks

I just called the # you listed in one of the replies but it's not Graybar it's a lighting supplier who deals with Graybar. I placed a order for 2 WH7 with them but they quoted me a price of $36 + shipping. I asked about or for larry and was told no body worked there by that name. Hopefully it will work out any ways.
