Default can someone get me a measurement?
Im wondering the dimensions on the vho bulbs with ends installed... total overall length from an installed bulb with both end caps.. essentially from endcap to endcap. thanks.. just cooking up some plans.

heh oh Im looking at some 48" bulbs. Im wondering how much clearance the endcaps add to the bulb.

I dont have those bulbs but from what I've seen add another 2" at either end. So we're talking about 48+2"+2"= 52" rough estimate. Luna
