IceCap ballast and bulbs

[ricwilli]

I would like to add four more bulbs to my system. Two 36" T5's and two 60" T5's. Will one IceCap ballast handle this type of configuration or will I have to buy two ballast for each different size bulbs? How many 60" bulbs can one Icecap ballast power?

This gets asked all the time on the IceCap forum on RC.

Here is a recent answer "You can use different length lamps on the same ballast with no problem. Just keep the total lamp length to 16 feet or less."

Yeah the 660 is a 16' max( but i heard with t-5 bulbs you can go more, only heard it though) so your fine with 2-3' and 2-5'
