I am planning to make a homemade fixture to run
This bulb. The bulb is 9W PL preheat (with starter inside) and originally was installed on a fixture with another same bulb (2x9W). And i Want to use a ballast that can hold 2x9W bulbs. And the question is: Can i use a 2x9W ballast to run only ONE 9W bulb? And This setup is bad for the bulb/ballast? I have previously used the ballast with only one bulb to test only and It worked well but if i keep It running a few minutes whan can happen?
