I'd like to build a lightbox for the 105 watt T5 fluorescent tubes made by SunLeaves. If you haven't heard about these lights, the 48" tubes produce 10,000 lumens. So, a 4 bulb lightbox would produce 40,000 lumens and would be ideal for seedlings or rooting clones.
Getting sockets should not be a problem though if you have a source I'd love to have it.
The ballast is another matter. What I need are specs and a source. Can anyone help me here? If you own a Satellite box and can get the codes off the ballast, or if you're electrically minded and can do the math, I'd be grateful. What I don't want to do is overdrive or underdrive the lamps because it will affect lumen output and longevity.
Thanks....HighBoy
