HO in this case stands for High Output, and refers to fluorescent lamps with higher wattages than those of standard fluorescent lights.
High output lights generally create more heat than is acceptable for the polycarbonate material.
Yes, we advise using large, sharp industrial scissors, hack saw or a fine tooth band saw. In this case you will need to order extra end caps.
The FS10 Fluorescent light filters protect against UV light that falls below 380 nanometers in wavelength, which is all UVB and a majority of UVA radiation. However, some UVA radiation falls between 380nm - 400nm, so there is a slight gap in filtration. If full UVA filtration is desired, the F685 Fluorescent light filters would be the product of choice.
