My lights have the "HO" type bulbs, which are almost 100 watts each, and have a
special recessed 2-pin connector on each end. I think the ballasts for those
are less common (and more expensive). The next time I go to Lowe's or HD, I'll
look around.
Thanks to whoever started this thread! I've learned a lot about fluorescent
lamps the last day or so (when I should have been doing something else).
