If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows will the lamp still work?
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows the lamp will not work.
What type of a ballast do compact fluorescent lamps use?
a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp
How do you replace a fluorescent T12 lamp socket?
Fluorescent light replacement is easy as replacing light bulbs. Slowly twist the fluorescent until the lead of each end aligned to the path of ejection/insertion. Or just simply stretch both end of fluorescent ballast then remove/insert the fluorescent light.
How much power does a fluorescent fixture use with no tubes installed For example a switched on 8' fixture with a single tube with an old ballast.?
Depends if ballast is in fixture and switch is on. Several watts if new ballast and perhaps 15 watts for old ballasts....
Where can a HID ballast be bought?
A HID ballast can be purchased from Amazon or eBay. The term 'ballast' is used to describe large inductors used to limit AC current for fluorescent lighting.
Why won't the center of a fluorescent tube light if the ends are still glowing?
you need to replace a ballast
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows will the lamp still work?
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows the lamp will not work.
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.
What type of a ballast do compact fluorescent lamps use?
a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp

Can you use a 65 watt fluorescent bulb in a metal halide light fixture?
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
Why fluorescent lamps not used on streets?
In colder climates a special ballast and lamps have to be used. These are known as cold start ballasts. The cost is much greater using fluorescent fixtures than HID fixtures and the light output is much less.
Is there a special type of fluorescent light for cold conditions?
Normally its the ballast that's different. Use an electronic ballast rather than a magnetic.
Compare the compact fluorescent lamp and the ordinary fluorescent lamp which has fewer spare parts?
"Compact fluorescent lamps" (or, more commonly CFLs) sold direct to consumers for installation in a standard screw-in socket have an integral ballast built into the base. The ballast converts and controls the line voltage from the socket to properly drive the fluorescent lamp. Ballasts are generally fairly complex circuitry. All fluorescent lamps require a ballast. However, most lamps used commercially ("ordinary fluorescent lamps") do not have the ballasts built into them; rather, the ballasts are hidden somewhere in the fixture.
