    As of January 10th, CoralVue will be handling service and repairs for people like myself with IceCap ballasts out there. In addition, they will also be carrying Vue660 and Vue440 ballasts that are similar to the IceCap 660 and 440 ballasts with the same technology and have recently picked up the former president of IceCap, Chris Conti as Coralvue's new Vice-President of Sales and Service. IceCap, the makers of popular electronic ballasts has hit some hard times recently and their fate remains to be seen. Press release below.
