    Electronic Light Ballasts for Tubular Fluorescent Light Bulbs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Ballasts. Electronic Light 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 Ballast—Instant-start ballasts turn on immediately. They are the most energy-efficient, but shorten the bulb's life.
