I need to replace my 2 ballasts for 30 watt no 36 inch dual light strip. I found the replacement ballasts at Home Depot. I can figure out the wiring diragram on the ballast. But on these ballasts it does not show the starter wired in?

My old ballast's had a starter for each ballast. Do the new ballasts not require starters anymore?
I purchase a magtek.

Just cut out the old ballast and connect the same color wires on the new ballast. If the bulbs don't light, then plug a new starter in. Very simple.

The ballast said they were "rapid start". After search the web on how ballasts work, it appears that they have someting built in that is a starter. Therefore, I do not need the starters anymore.
