Connect them in parallel. The black wire from the ballast to the black line wire. The white wire from the ballast to the line neutral. Connect the ground wire to the ground screw which is located in the body of the fixture. Grounding of the fixtures is essential.

Why can't you dim fluorescent light bulbs?

Some fluorescent lamps (bulbs) can be dimmed, but they must be designed to be dimmable. The ballasts and electronics that drive the bulb have to be designed to work with a dimmer or they will not function properly and may overheat. When dimming fluorescent bulbs, many can't be faded smoothly from full to zero. Some will only go to a minimum like 5-20%. A dimmable compact fluorescent lamp will be labelled as being dimmble and can be connected to an ordinary dimmer. For tubes, the ballast has to be specailly designed to be dimmable.


What are CFL bulbs?

CFLs, or compact fluorescent lights, are an environmentally friendly alternative to incandescent light bulbs. Typically a CFL is powered by a ballast which sends current into the glass envelope filled with halogen gas. 'Halogen' is not actually a gas in itself but refers to a family of gasses that includes chlorine, bromine, astatine, fluorine, and iodine. As the electric current travels from the ballast into the envelope, the gas becomes exciting and emits photons. Interestingly, without the the white coating inside a CFL, known as a phosphor coating, you would not be able to see the light produced. It is only once the light passes through the phosphor coating that it becomes a wavelength visible to the human eye.
