I bought 2 of this 4-pin light bulb, but I cannot not find the ballast needed to turn them on!

This lamp is for Honeywell RUVLAMP1/C UV Air Treatment System only. Do not attempt to use it for anything else.

This bulb is a Direct replacement for a Honeywell UV air treatment unit in your heating/AC ductwork. All starters/ballast stay in light base. You are only replacing the bulb on a yearly basis.

I don't recall seeing any installation instructions, I looked them up on the internet. You do not have to remove the ballast, but I recall you must bypass it.

how many bulbs are connected and what model bulbs? The wiring must be exactly to diagram on ballast.

Ballasts do not determine kelvin temperature (or the color of the light)......it's the bulbs :-)

Any fluorescent light fixture will work on these bulbs. You have to modify the fixture to direct route the line power directly into the end connections, by-passing the ballast. This is very easy to do and only takes a few minutes. I am sure they make fixtures without the balasts for these lamps, and if you are starting from scratch I would expect these to be cheaper than fluorescent lamp fixtures, maybe a little harder to find. I was retrofitting and replacing fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs, so this conversion meant I did not have to buy new fixtures.

If all you have is the bulb, you need a ballast and a reflective fixture that will support that bulbs wattage. You have to buy the whole package, you cant just screw this bulb into any fixture.

This kit only has the bulbs and some wiring. The ballasts are not included. There are several other kits on amazon that do include the ballasts. Hope this helps!

Yes you'll need 2 ballast one for each light,If you check Amazon site there are packages that contain the ballast and bulbs together.

ballast is bypassed, would not work. I'd suggest labels for hot and neutral too.

I am not an electrician, but I believe that ballast is only needed for fluorescent lights and would not be needed for LED bulbs.

Sorry, I can't be definate. But, the ballast interchanged perfectly, just remove and attach the old wire terminations. A wiring diagram is on the cover of the ballast. The bulb sockets themselves are unchanged.

Please look inside cardboard tube for instructions, because one company you wire only one end and there you wire both ends. YES you remove the ballast, because it is not needed. I have install 10 light fixtures and ordering more. Some show the wiring on the label at one end of the tube which is were you connect the wires.

I ask my husband. He said there is no electronic ballast. He would know since he is and electrician.

Yes, you do have to wire around old ballast. It is no longer needed. I was able to plug the new ones right into the existing switch. Instructions were included. The first one took awhile to figure out because I did not want to damage anything. The next 6 lights were a breeze. One of the best things I've done to our motorhome. It seems we were always buying new bulbs and had one or two out. One bulb per fixture is OK. In some rooms I have two per fixture. Wifes bathroom where she wants more light. Have had them for 2-3 years no problem. Total of 12 bulbs in 8 fixtures. They work great. A little expensive compared to old tube replacements but haven't replaced any either. Would highly recommend these. Yes, you do have to wire around old ballast. It is no longer needed. I was able to plug the new ones right into the existing switch. Instructions were included.

I cut the old wires to remove the old ballast and connected new ballast to the old wires using wire connectors (much easier than using wire nuts). My old ballast was 3-lamp so I had to figure out what to do with extra wires, but it's really not that hard.

The wiring for an electronic ballast is different from a mechanical or magnetic ballast. And wiring is different for use in a one bulb fixture compared to a two bulb fixture. There should be a wiring diagram right on the ballast. The paperwork for wiring one or two bulb fixtures should be in the packaging. I was a little wary during my first rewiring, but it really does work if you follow the included wiring diagram, and I have successfully rewired 6 fixtures. Now they turn on immediately!
