i got an elibru eballast for 36w pl, can i use it to drive the 39w t5?

also, anyone can advise whether using a ballast without preheat features will shorten the lifespan of the tube drastically? :huh: in which case i would probably be getting a t5 ballast instead.

If the Elbiru E-ballast you have there indicates 36W - 39W. there shd not be any issue for you to drive 39W t5 tubes.

my ballast can drive 36- 40w, just needed some feedback on how quickly the tubes deteriorate without true t5 ballast?

with a sudden shock, it will shorten the life of the tubes. We really cant tell visually but can tell by using a lux meter.

to avoid this, use a t5 eballast instead. ;)
