cr33p is an unknown quantity at this point
T5 possibilities

Hello everyone, I currently have 2 IC 430's running my 4 46.5'' T12 VHO's, only after I just purchased brand new bulbs last month have I decided about doing a lighting upgrade, I want to add another 2 bulbs, I could stick with the VHO set up but would need another ballast, so I figure why not just swap over to the newer T5 set up, lower wattage, longer life, and a larger bulb selection right? My questions are

1. Can I properly run 3 48''' T5 HO bulbs on each IC 430?
2. Does anyone have knowledge about "Overdriving" bulbs like Reefgeek has?

I want to maximize the room I have in my canopy for mucho ligthing if you know what I mean.
