Has anyone ever heard or seen someone modify the aqualight pro's actinic 03 to a ho or vho T5 light. I though since there are 4 bulbs for actinic 03, I can change 2 of the 4 to T5 and have more diversity. Good idea or bad? What's your opinion?
I do recall someone modding an Odyssea fixture, basically the same thing, with some T5's but no SLR if you install single T5 the ballast should be good enough but for double on each reflector, a different ballast would be needed.
You can go cheap with a workhorse ballast or go a bit better with a triad ballast. One thing I would do is put in an icecap ballast, I don't think that fixture has adequate cooling.
I'm starting to think it will be much easier to just add a retrofit instead of replacing. Still doing some research to see if there is an easy way to mod this fixture.
