I have a 2 bulb T8 fluorescent light in my basement that’s about 6 years old and recently stopped working. First step was two new bulbs which still didn’t work so I’m guessing the ballast failed. But I’m having a heck of a time figuring out which ballast to buy.
On different lights I have, I’m replacing my lay in T12’s with LED’s since I don’t have any T12 bulbs and it’s hard to spend almost $20 on bulbs when I can get a flat panel LED for $30. For these T8’s, I have bulbs and these are the chain mounted type with a plug that is nice to move around, so I’d like to keep them working.
Heres a picture of the ballast witing diagram for the T8’s in question.
Could this ballast be wired for both 2 and 4 bulb applications? It’s hard to find (haven’t yet) this type of ballast so should I get a standard ballast and rewire the tombstones?
Thanks
