    Yes you can :) There is a easier way to get them to run VHO get a linear ballast rather then a parallel type ballast. I took a old 24x24 2 bulb fixture out of the kitchen added my ballast and run it like that But still just use the cheap warm white bulbs they run much brighter . to reach the bottom of the fuge . Oh I put a 4ft 8 T6 tube fixture over the sink in the kitchen LOL And the same bulb pins are on T-6 up to T 12's

    Man The lighting in there was so bad you had to light a match to see if it was on. :) I have 2 more to replace when I can get back on a ladder I had just gotten to the point that I could stand on a ladder for a little bit then baam I broke me again LOL I just don't like dim rooms and lighting.. Like in some house I have worked in in the slummy parts of the city a 15 ft ceiling with a 15 or 25 w bulb incandescent most time red or green to boot LOL why bother ?
