Background: Paul, a Property Manager from Washington, DC Metropolitan
[ad#block]Question: Retrofitting T12 or T8 to T5. Current fixtures utilize electronic ballast. Will T5 operate on existing ballast or require new? Thanks in advance.

Additional Comments: Great resource for electrical information.

Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Paul. The existing electronic ballast must state that it is compatible with T5 Lamps. If it does not, then a new compatible electronic ballast will be needed.
