so, I will attach pictures of the fixtures that I did this to, I have posted them here before I think. they are 60s louvered fixtures that were originally rapid start magnetic. I have 3 of them and will be doing the same thing to the other two at some point as my plans for them are to install them into what will eventually be becoming my workshop over the benches. the reasons for doing this conversions were that they will be in a building that is not heated unless I am in it, so it is sometimes too cold for a magnetic ballast in the winter, I have a surplus of electronic ballasts I got for free as well as a huge box of f32t8 lamps that I need to use somewhere, so it just made since here. I did not hack up the wiring to the point where I would not be able to put a magnetic ballast back into them at some point, so that is good right? At least I did not put LED tubes in them. If anyone is interested I did make a video that I am currently uploading to youtube and will link when it is finished.

the watt reducer ballasts that some of the fixtures had installed.

the original Westinghouse ballasts that were in some of the fixtures, sadly someone had installed 34 watt lamps on them, so they were all leaking and got very hot, so I disposed of them as they were no longer usable.

this one was the original ballasts (sorry)

if anyone really cares, here is the (bad) video I made on this subject.
