Q. Can the reflector be easily cut or modified?
A. Yes. The reflector is easily cut with tin snips. It can also be drilled without problems. Remember though, that we will not accept any returns for items you have modified, so please make sure you're going to use it if you plan on cutting, drilling, bending, etc...
Q. Can I use Normal Output (20W, 30W, 40W, etc...) "N.O." bulbs with the ARO VHO ballast?
A. Yes. You can run any "NO" bulb you want on the ARO ballast. It will drive them at near VHO levels. This is great for those who want to run cheaper "Gro bulbs" from Wal-Mart, Lowes or Home Depot on a refugium, algae scrubber or tank. The ARO ballast is versatile, and you can run any combination of NO, HO and/or VHO bulbs.
Hellolights highly reccomends the use of a ground fault circut interrupter with all of the lighting equipment we offer. With the correct installation and proper precautions taken you can avoid electrical shock or electrocutions.
