Eballast Qns

Hi all
got a qns regarding abt eballast.
As we all know, HOT5s uses wattage which are like 24wats, 39watts and 54watts. (in respects to the length of the tube).
Okay. and the ballast used to fire up these tubes have to be of the same output as well. (correct me if i am worng please).
Here's my qns.
I kinda have a couple of first genration Eballast.
Osram Quicktronic Proessional QTP.
Was thinking, are they possible to be used to light up 2x39watts of HOT5?
as in would the T5s light up in the first place.
These are the spcecs of the ballasts:
Quicktronic Professional (dual tubes capability)
QTP 2x36/230 - 240
Lamp: 2 xL36w / 2 xL38w
V: 230 - 240
A: 0,31
F(Hz): 0; 50 -60
lamda(wavelength); 0,98C
Range of application: AC/DC 198v to 264V
Range of battery Volt:154v to 276v
Can be used for luminaires protection class I and II.
Preheat time <2 sec.
EEI = A2.

Thanks.
will try to post a pic when i can borrow a digi cam.

It is still possible to fire a tube with a slightly lower wattage ballast. However the tube will be dim.

supposedly its able to handle up to 40watts. So was thinking... for a 39watt HOt5. Enough? thanks.

bro off topic.
Resun 1000 Fr (Eheim COmpact 600) <----- the pump $39 right?

My friend got his at $37.
Mine si second hand one.

oic,i see the price only i rather t-off from some other pump

I dont think you will have any problem using that osram e-ballast.

oh okay. thanks bro. i will give it a try. Cos i wanna for my other HOT5 set, i am using a QTFT eballast from osram itself. and i have 2 spare eballast lying ard, thought of just making use of them.
Thanks.
Cheers.

Bro,
Since they are spares and lying ard, no harm to use them first, if really cannot then change also not to late. At least can save some $$$$ to buy some more corals.
