If you mean the ballast in a fluorescent light fitting where the ballast is wired in series with the tube, the answer is "No". Explanation:
If no tube is in place, the light fitting's circuit is "open" so there is nothing to take any current from the "hot" supply wire and return it to the "neutral" wire.

Can you use 5300k hid bulbs with 8000k ballast?
A ballast is a ballast in most cases. So yes you should be fine.
Wiring issue or ballast failure with Halogen Lighting pendant dining rm original lamp location for 15 years now. Use only in the evenings. Why bulbs usually last only 1 month less than the rated hours?
Are you touching the bulb with your fingers? Oil in the skin causes hot spot on the bulb and causes them to burn out.
How many watts are in 100 2.5 volt bulbs?
This question does is not answerable. A watt is a volt times an amp. With out knowing how many amps the bulbs use there is no answer.
What is a type of machine that makes electricity?
A machine that makes electricity is called a generator. Generators use electromagnetism to convert physical movement into electricity.
What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.
How much electricity does a T8 32w fluorescent light bulbs use?
These tubes need a ballast to operate the tubes. The current and voltage will be marked on the fixtures ballast.
Can you use 5300k hid bulbs with 8000k ballast?
A ballast is a ballast in most cases. So yes you should be fine.
How much percent of the worlds electricity is from light bulbs?
None. Light bulbs use electricity, they do not create electricity.
Does a fluorescent ballast use power when no bulbs are in the fixture?
Yes, there is an excitation current that flows through the primary side of the transformer which is located in the magnetic ballast's casing.
Do heat lamp bulbs use less than regular bulbs?
No, they use more electricity.
Do fluorescent light bulbs use nuclear energy?

Why is a light bulb better then a candles?
because light bulbs use electricity ,and candles use fire, and electricity last longer
If some of your ceiling light bulbs are out eg 3 out of 6 does this waste electricity?
No, dude bulbs do not use any power.
Why do ordinary light bulbs take more electrical energy than efficient bulbs?
The filament on normal light bulbs require a higher current of electricity to light up, and are more resistant to electricity as well. This causes it to use more electricity and generate more heat.
How do you save electricity to avoid power cuts?
Use CFL bulbs. Switch off button when it is not in use.
How do you replace ac ballast where emergency ballast present?
First you need to determine if it's the ballast that's bad or the emergency ballast. The emergency ballast can go bad and cause the bulbs not to work or not all of them to work depending on the lights wiring setup. Push the test button on the emergency ballast which should have a red glowing indicator light. If all the lights illuminate slightly, change the emergency ballast. It's best to buy the exact ballast for this repair. i.e. If it's a T8 3 lamp fixture. Buy a T8 3 lamp ballast not a 4. You can use a 4 in place of a 3 lamp, but the 3 lamp will be more user friendly. Easiest way is to note what wires go to what. Draw a diagram if you have to and just simply match them back up.
