trying to force you to buy UFO's for your kitchen,nnr
DIY electrician: One of the two ballasts in my kitchen light fixture is out. Seeing how T12 fluorescent bulbs are being discontinued this month I have decided to convert it to T8 bulbs. Saturday I ordered the wrong FCC class A (commercial/industrial) ballast but I canceled that order today and now have a correct FCC class B (residential) ballast coming.

my new ballast is gonna be a blast,i just know it !!

When changed from magnetic to electronic ballast in my work shop and got rid of that annoying buzz I could hear myself think, whata relief!

Changed my grow room over to electronic T8, less power, better spectrum and lovin it.

This may help others DIY, this is the way cheapest place for ballast I could find. I used the DXE2H8 in shop and grow room. No problems installing and still in use since ‘06
