About Replacing a Ballast

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.
Rapid-start ballasts have a slight turn-on delay, but are quicker than preheat ballasts.
Ballasts that cannot be sold to Canada do not meet local efficiency standards.

Ballasts for Metal Halide Light Bulbs

Probe-start ballasts are often found in older installations.
Pulse-start ballasts turn on faster than probe start. Some include a starter, which increases bulb life.
