Had to replace a fluorescent light ballast

One of my six year old fluorescent light ballasts in the basement bit the dust so I had to change it out.

I converted the fixture from T12 to T8.

If I recall correctly you only needed one wire to each end of the tube instead of two and the wire that connects to the yellow end is red.

Wiring diagram is on the ballast.

I hate replacing these because I turn off the breakers and it is dark and the place where they reside is tough to get at.

But, A man's gotta do what (a Woman says) a Man's gotta do.
