Subject: Bank o' BLs: Spacing?
>I am opting for a unit to do up to 20x30, and had planned on getting T8 24"
20w
BL tubes. The simplest thing seems to be to buy the pre-fab dual magnetic
fixtures available at Home Depot and plug those into a power strip plugged
into
my timer. This is possible, no?<
Correct, the ballast is incorporated within those units.
<If I do this, then I won't need ballasts, correct?>
<If I don't do that and build from scratch, are the three components a tube,
ballast & fixture?<
correct
<How do you space the tubes closely if you go with pre-fab fixtures from
Home
Depot?> -- You really cannot - that is why people build them from
components, to get the close spacing.
Good Luck
