Can a T8 bulb directly replace a T12 bulb with this ballast? Do they use the same sockets?

That is my understanding and was my original plan. After installing the new ballasts the old T12's still worked great so I skipped it.

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.

As others have answered, this compact size electronic ballast can only be used on a single F40 or F34, T12 tube. Install a second 72110 ballast for your second tube.

if the base is the same, it should interchange. You should be able to find T-3 replacements on amazon. I have found a replacement for every bulb in our coach for about 1/10 to 1/4 of the local costs Of replacement.

Yes, this fixture requires T8 bulbs. You can check out this one, it's what I'm using for this fixture and it's been working great ever since. The light is sufficient and the quality of the product is superb. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SPX65 DAYLIGHT Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 865 Light Bulbs 48"

This bulb is plug & play type. No change is needed for the T10 compatible socket. If they don't light properly after inserting into the socket, please insert oppositely or flip the bulb horizontally to match the + and - polarity. Also, try to pull the pins on the base outwards and sideward a little in case the bulb is slightly loose in socket and make a contact firmly. Thanks

The 72110 GE140RS120 ballast is designed to operate one T12 lamp. There is a similar ballast: GE240RS120 that is designed to operate two T12 lamps. There is also a GE240RS120R which seems to differ in power factor but is otherwise much like the GE240RS120. Google each ballast number for the full specs on GE's website.

As long as your ballast is rated for t-12, takes the 96 inch single pin bulb you should be fine, just not as bright. Remember the T-12 are going away soon. They are going to be harder and more exspensive to purchase down the road.

No you have to use all the wires.Unlike your old ballast when one light went out they both did.This ballast has separate wires for each lamp.Look on the ballast label for the diagram that tells what colored wires go to one tube and what colors for the other.You'll have to clip the wires on one end of the lamp fixture where the two sockets are joined together.TIP: Make sure you leave a generous length of wire coming from the sockets to work with.

NO!!! the bulb has to match the output of the ballast but all you have to do is use the dimmer if your trying to curb your electricity usage if it's because your 600 watt bulb failed than you have to get a new one, you can damage the 400 watt bulb and the ballast if you use the wrong bulb...hope this helps

Yes, I replaced the T5 low wattage lanscape bulbs with these. They actually fit more snuggly than the T5's which were always losing thier connection in the fixture. Initially thought they were not very bright, but really like them now.

No it is not compatible. A 400 watt ballast takes a 400 watt eye bulb. A 600 takes a 600 watt bulb and so on

sorry, I have both kinds and I can't remember which they use. I got them for my greenhouse. I'm pretty sure they were T8 because those were the types of bulbs I had to buy but I can't guarantee it. It seems like the bulb type was included in the product description. The lights are very lightweight and come completely assembled which is nice.

The Domire tube you are looking at says "40 watt fluorescent tube replacement" which would be a 4' t12(that is the old, fat, inch and a half tube) so based on that info I'd say no. I just can't find any good tech info for that domire led tube.

Yes, T10 has the same socket like 921, mine are actually 921 and i installed it, the difference between this T10 and 921 it the bulb size

Yes, that type of bulb has an internal ballast and requires a mogul base socket, which is exaclty what this has.

No it will not. The sockets are too small, the entire fixture is not wide enough to handle the additional size, the ballast is the wrong type as well.
