Just get a slimline fixture and some RDC lamp holders. One fixed and one plunger for each bulb. Gut the slimline and install the sockets and the VHO ballast.

Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).


LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

Like FGS said, and if you fire a PM to vytautas_lamps they might give you some tips on making the hardest part of that setup, the Powergrove tubes, take a look at his gallery HERE, really he has made his own with nothing more then a gas stove in his kitchen altering factory made tubes.

@FGS:
A slimline fixture isn't deep enough to fit a VHO ballast in.
Needs to be a HO or VHO fixture.

You could always get some sheetmetal & build your own (unless you're talking something more than 4-feet..)
