I'm a little curious about your actinics. Are you driving them with a workhorse 7? I'm using a wh7 to overdrive 3 no actinics(2 in series 1 by itself). The fulham website indicates that you need 3 of the 4 wires to drive one 96w vho. Wouldn't running two in series actually be under driven slightly? I was thinking of trying some vho bulbs but didn't want to buy another ballast.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I am using all 4 wires so i am alowing the full 1.2A of current to pass through the bulbs so the ballast thinks there is one 6' VHO tube, and yes it is a WH7.
