Note that 2 two-lamp Lutron ballasts will replace this ballast.
A Rapid Start, one-lamp ballast will normally have 6 wires – (1) Hot,
(1) Neutral, (4) lamp wires. A 7th wire, the Ground, may be present
depending upon the manufacturer. New sockets are not required
when this type of ballast is replaced with a Lutron ballast.
Warning!
Operating Lutron Dimming Ballast(s) with the
wrong sockets in place will damage the ballast(s) and
void the warranty.
Note:
When replacing sockets, use Rapid Start sockets. (A knife-
edge variety, such as model #13053-UN by Leviton Mfg. Co., or a
#660 Series by Triboro Mfg. Co., is recommended.)
Many fluorescent lamp sockets are available with mounting slots to
vary the height of the lamp away from the grounded metal surface.
Use these slots to get the outside edge of the lamp to be 1/2"
(12 7 mm) ±1/4" (6 mm) away from the grounded metal surface.
Having a fluorescent lamp too close to the grounded metal will
make the minimum intensity too low and will reduce lamp life.
Having a fluorescent lamp too far away from the grounded metal will
make the lamp flicker or not turn ON at all.
