72" VHO bulbs are typically 160W each.

60" VHO bulbs are 140W each.

48" VHO bulbs are 110W each.

36" VHO bulbs are 95W each.

See the link above for what you can do with the Icecap 660 or 430 ballasts.

16 foot of light per 660 from what i know. I was going to switch to VHO lights on my 125 and was told that it is best to go with 4x4 foot bulbs on one ice cap 660.
