Monster,

Driving a T5 on a VHO system is used by some planted aquaria hobbyists.
This helps to maximise the output from the T5 globes.
However, as overdriving any globe would do, the lifespan of the globe is significantly reduced.

It's fine for T5's because a replacement globe costs $20 at most.
However with MH, i do recall each bulb costing quite a hefty sum.
Overdriving it may be pretty costly no?
