Fritz,
would you be kind enough to give me a link to the inexpensive $12 ballast. I want to find the spec of it.

BTW, anyone has a 54W 4" bulb laying around and remember how bright it should be when hooked up to a 54w ballast? I would like to bring my 28W fixture to try it with the 54W bulbs and compare the brightness.

bring it to my house we'll compare it side by side. I believe that's the only way to compare...not from memory

btw: what color & K range are your bulb?
