Default Work Horse ballasts?

Hey,

From my DIY experience, I would go with the two Compact Flourescents at 55W each versus the overdriven NOs. Albrite carries Panasonic 55 Watt Compact Flourescent bulbs that have a manufacturer rating of over 8000 lumens per bulb - which is a lot when comparing that to a 30 Watt NO bulb at around 2000 lumens.

BTW - the Panasonic 55 Watt PCs come in 6700K, which appears to be 'quite white' with a little blue.
