Icecap 660, mix and match bulbs?

Hey, does anyone run different length bulbs at the same time with an Icecap 660? I was thinking of running 2 6' and 1 2' bulb. Total would be 16', which they say is the max.
Thanks,
hari

By specification, the 660 supports this.
However, I've actually done it, and what I found is that the unit tends to overdrive the smaller lamps and cause dramatically reduced lifespan. I ran (2) 4' 110w VHO lamps and (2) 2' VHO lamps, and I was replacing the 2' lamps every 2 months or so until I gave up and disconnected them.
