So currently we have 4 65w PCs (two white and two blue). Now we want to upgrade - due to our lack of research when we did the original purchase about month ago.
Here are my questions. :?: Can we upgrade to 96w PC with VHO's without having to do anything to the ballasts? If we can't what exactly should we do? And what website has the best price on whatever we need?
We don't really want to go the MH route b/c our canopy (again due to poor research) is only like 5 inches high and we don't want a heat problem.
P.S. If anything sounds wrong, I got this info from the bf and I wasn't listening very well when he was talking.
 
Exactly what ballast do you have? Probably one of the Fulham Workhorses...need to know the model #. Of course, you'll have to buy a VHO ballast. Your PC ballasts might run 96 w bulbs with some rewiring depending on what you have.
