Questions & Answers
The switch is completely independent of the ballast and is only used to supply power. Check to see if the problem is caused by the switch. If you're replacing a light, it should already come with a ballast, so you won't need this.

First and foremost, if you require this, simply replace the fixture with a new LED one. This is a good substitute for a MagneTek 546-based product. I checked with the manufacturer to make sure it was the right replacement. Wonderful, top-notch product support; as others have stated, wire according to the label's instructions. My previous ballast was a relic of a bygone era. The support person was taken aback by the way it was set up. The lamp was connected by a white wire. These are simply connected to one of the blue wires. I had ordered a fixture, but it required a wall box, so I opted for ballast. I should've just put a box over it and put the fixture in. This option was less expensive, but I still have an old light that isn't turned on. So it came to $20. 00, while the other would have cost about $38.
The most difficult part was connecting the existing wire to the new ballast's wire configuration, but it's now fixed, and I'll explain why. A 'tombstone' has been mentioned by some. This is the connector on each end into which a fluorescent light bulb is inserted. My tombstones had one wire on each side of the two tombstones (single bulb fixture), except for one tombstone, which had two wires on one side, which I assumed I could just cap because I only needed one wire per side. Wrong. Both of those wires must be stripped back and combined with one of the pair that goes to that side (in my case, blue). The other blue is for the tombstone on the opposite side. She then went to work and did an excellent job. I hope this is of assistance to someone; it took me about 5 videos to realize it. I'm not an electrician, just in case you didn't know (which is probably a good thing).
At Home Depot, I couldn't find a single tube this size's replacement ballast. I believe that these older fluorescent lights are being phased out in favor of LED lighting, but I had two new bulbs. I didn't want to throw them away, so I kept them. br>br>This ballast was inexpensive. It came earlier than expected. I immediately inserted it. The difficulty had been resolved.
This electronic ballast does a fantastic job. It ignites the fluorescent lamp more effectively than the old magnetic ballast did when it was first installed. Connect the electronic ballast to the power source as directed on the label. If you have a white wire connected to one lamp socket on your light, tape it up and don't try to reuse it. I wore a teeny-tiny pair of glasses. To release the wires from the old ballast, use a repair screwdriver to open the contacts on the lamp sockets; once the new ballast is installed, double-check that the wires from the new ballast are securely held in the lamp socket contacts.
This is the one that I needed to replace a 17-year-old ballast. It arrived quickly, and I was able to get it up and running in no time, with the exception of replacing the tube attachment points, which was a simple task. Then I reassembled it and it functioned properly. Great!.
I was replacing an old ballast that had a different wire setup than the new electronic ballast, with five wires instead of six, and I simply rewired it according to the diagram, and it worked perfectly.
It is simple to put together.
Tube light ballasts come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they can be difficult to come by. This vendor offers a diverse range of products at reasonable prices.
