Light Fixtures with Two Ballasts A 4 lamp fixture with two series ballasts can be replaced with a 4 lamp parallel ballast.

Similarly, it is asked, can you use a 4 bulb ballast in a 3 bulb fixture?Replace 3 Lamp Instant Start Ballast with 4 Lamp Instant Start. A 3 lamp parallel ballast can be replaced with a 4 lamp parallel ballast. The two yellow wires on a 4 lamp ballast are connected together inside the ballast. Cut and cap one yellow and one red or blue wire with a wire nut.Additionally, what happens if you wire a ballast wrong? If you use a wrong sized ballast the LRC will not be tuned so you are likely to not start the lamp at all. There is the possibility of burning out components pre-maturely also due to overcurrent and overvoltage conditions particularly if using a larger ballast on a smaller fixture. Keeping this in view, can you use two ballasts one light? The new ballast can be used for 1 or 2 lights. If you have two lights then you should run one blue wire to one light and the other blue wire to the second light, as is shown on the schematic on the ballast.How do you wire up a ballast? Use orange wire connector for more than four 18 AWG wire connections. Light fixtures from the factory are wired with the ballast wires connected directly to the lampholders. Shut off power to light fixture at the circuit breaker. Cut the wires close to the old ballast and remove the ballast.
