Ice Cap Electronic Ballasts operate various types of fluorescent lamps including standard, HO and VHO. These ballasts are energy efficient so they run cooler and extend the lamp life.

Soft start and high frequency operation prolongs lamp life and increases light output of non-VHO lamps. Can even be used with PC bulbs.
