[sagent3000]

can anyone give me the names of some t-5 ballast other than icecap?

the plan is for 18 - 36" t-5 lights

edit* okay this is what i found tell me what you think:

Sylvania Part Number:
QTP4X54T5HO/UNV PSN NL
For (4) 54 Watt T5 Lamps

Sylvania is a good option. Some others are:

Advance Centium
Fulham Workhorse
Triad
Universal Accustart

I use all accustart and have never ever had any problems with and i like the fact that you don't have to use butt connectors you just plug the wire in the ballast and go.

okay help me read this
http://www.unvlt.com/literature/brochures/t5ho_brochure.pdf">http://www.unvlt.com/literature/brochures/t5ho_brochure.pdf</a>

is it saying that that
B454PUNV-E is a 4 lamp ballast (programed rapid start)
of
B454IUNV-E is a 4 lamp ballast (instant start)

whats the difference between programed rapid start and instant start?

You won't get 20 for $89. That's $89 for 1 unit= 1 - 4 lamp ballast.
