can this ballast be wired to two -2bulb t8 light fixtures

Yes... Whether you are using 1,2,3 or 4 bulbs... You can cut the wires short, cap off with wire nuts... the other red or blue wires you don't use . For two bulbs you only need to use one yellow wire... Cut and cap the other yellow wire

yes, but you will need to rewire them and remove the ballast. Also to be on the safe side order the new connectors with them. These bulbs are only powered from one end. Make sure to get the bright and not the warm if want a good amount of light. I am very happy with mine but had to return my first order and get the brighter one directly from the vender.

Yes it can if you are replacing the same length and T8 connector, but you need to pull the old ballast and just send the AC to one end of the LED lamp. It is very simple with the supplied instructions. If you have live plants you will need to research the K value (temperature) for the plants you are growing!

Good day, I purchased some of this model LED tube from this particular company and the tubes work well. Realize that LED fixtures are NOT compatible with fluorescent ballasts, so you cannot plug them directly into a pre-existing fixture. The ballast must be removed or you may "hot wire" them around the ballast. Different manufacturers wire differently. There are four prongs: two on each end. You only need two of those prongs. Either the two on one end or the same two on opposite ends. I am currently on the road, so I cannot look at this particular tube to tell you how to wire it, but if you say you have "hot-wired" and it works, you have picked the correct wiring configuration. Yes, it is wired directly, no ballast. That's the way LEDs work. Hopefully this message has been some help or, at least, reassures you. Good luck. Bob

This has a standard 120v three prong plug. I think your lights will have a different three prong plug on the ballast.

Yes, Thane G. The LumenMax 5K Mogul Socket will work any ballast. As long as the socket outlet are compatible.

No, you can not run two hoods with this ballast. I would also reccomend a that you go with another company. The two I-Power ballasts I purchased did not last more that a year before blowing out and almost burning my house down. Apollo ballasts are a good buy and they are about the same price. Another suggestion would be to get a light moving rail and get a growzilla hood that has 2 lights in one hood!

I used 12/2 gauge, but knowing the length of wire and total wattage if bulbs is key

I did the same thing. Just removed old ballast and used existing wire nuts to connect the new one. Very simple process. Just make sure the fixture is unplugged or disconnected.

I use this switch in my workshop with cheap shop lights. Those lights have two 40 Watt fluorescent lights and an ordinary ballast. The switch always works.

T8 has lower lamp current than T12, so what happens is T8 on a T12 ballast overpowers the lamps. So they will run at say 36w and shorter life.

Yes, and its 8 feet between ballast and light fixture and another 8 from ballast to outlet.

Yes you'll need 2 ballast one for each light,If you check Amazon site there are packages that contain the ballast and bulbs together.

No you have to use all the wires. Unlike your old ballast when one light went out they both did. This ballast has separate wires for each lamp. Look on the ballast label for the diagram that tells what colored wires go to one tube and what colors for the other. You'll have to clip the wires on one end of the lamp fixture where the two sockets are joined together. TIP: Make sure you leave a generous length of wire coming from the sockets to work with.

No it will not work. this ballast was for circle line bulbs. You just need to search for a ballast for 2- 48" straight tubes.

As others have answered, this compact size electronic ballast can only be used on a single F40 or F34, T12 tube. Install a second 72110 ballast for your second tube.

(assuming 12v bulbs & power supply) yes if they don't total more than 8 amps. I think 8 amps is the switch load.
