Steve, can you explain that in a little more detail? I've heard that bit before but it never made sense to me. If the ballast can provide 110W, what difference does it make if it's a 110W, 12' long NO or a 110W, 4' long VHO? With Watt's Law (err.. I think it's Watt's Law) power is just the product of current and voltage, and I'm betting that the voltage between all of the fluorescent species is standard. Where does this disconnect in logic with the VHOs happen? I certainly don't doubt it, but I can't grasp where it's happening.
