Anyone have an t-5 ballast for some 36'' t-5s? Mine died the other day and am in desperate need. Would like to have enough to drive 4 bulbs but 2 would due for now.

I've got a brand new workhorse 5? Decided to switch to LED's so I didn't end up using it.

I got one slightly cheaper from Amazon recently. I thought a Workhorse 5 can run two 55/65W PC's or two 54W t5HO. Are they okay to run a few 36" t5's?

Fulham has a nice website that can help you finding the correct ballast type and their customer service (email) is very very quick and super nice.

Sorry if I made a confusing statement - must be my Japanese accent or "Engrish" ;)

Just to clarify my earlier statement, I understand that one Fulham Workhorse 5 ballast can run one to three 39 watt t-5 bulbs. Correct me if I am wrong, but it cannot run four 36" 39 watt bulbs. Although Firefightered said that he will settle for running only 2 bulbs for now, an option to run all four would be nice, wouldn't it?

Correct and thanks. It is a great option to have to drive another 2 bulbs later or u can always overdrive the 2 by attaching the 2 red wires together.
