Puffy Says

Powering T5 bulbs with an IceCap ballast will increase there output by up to 45%. However this "over-driving" typically reduces bulb life from 18 to 12 months and produces more heat than driving the bulbs at their standard output. Because of this extra heat it's very important to run cooling fans or provide another form of cooling. This will help keep the gas inside the bulb stable and extend its useable life.
