Electronic Ballasts for Tubular Fluorescent Light Bulbs
In addition to being more energy-efficient than magnetic ballasts, these electronic ballasts are lighter and quieter. Ballasts that can operate multiple bulbs may have more wires than you need. Cover unused wires with a wire nut.
Instant-start ballasts turn on immediately. They are the most energy-efficient, but shorten the bulb's life.
Programmed-start ballasts provide the longest bulb life, but they take longer than instant- and rapid-start ballasts to turn on. They are often used with motion-sensing light controls.

Magnetic Ballasts for Tubular Fluorescent Light Bulbs
These ballasts are often found in older installations. Ballasts that can operate multiple bulbs may have more wires than you need. Cover unused wires with a wire nut.
Preheat ballasts take several seconds to turn on and require a starter. Ballasts with a built-in starter are more efficient than other preheat ballasts.
Ballasts that cannot be sold to Canada do not meet local efficiency standards.
