Dimmable T5 controller

[GarrettT]

I know the LET T5 Miro-4 has a ballast that is dimmable through the use of an Apex.

Anyone know if the Apex can be used to dim a T5 bulb on an Icecap 660 ballast?

660 ballasts are not dimmable for T5 bulbs.............only T12.

In that case, anyone know if the VHO bulbs can be dimmed using an Apex as the controller?

I would not go down the VHO road..........they are very scarce especially the actinic types.

Not a Apex user so can't really help you there. Dimming T5 tends to shorten the life of the bulbs... not worth it in IMO.
