Would Not RecommendThese ballasts do not seem to be powerful enough to start 2 F40T12 bulb even though that's what they say they are for. I've wired two of them in two different light fixtures. They are wired according to the diagram on the ballast. When only one bulb is in the fixture the bulb lights almost instantly but with 2 bulbs it struggles to start them. I've even checked the in voltage. It is correct at 120Vac. I even tried brand new bulbs.
