set everything up.
get flashlight.
turn off main breaker.

terminate ends and connect making it all look nice and tidy like it should already look.

pray to whatever deity you prefer

re-energize

hopefully you got some of those little round things to put where the wire goes in the box. that screw down and hold the wire in instead of letting it rub on the sharp sides of the breaker box. hah i can't find mine right now and have 3 circuits waiting to pull in i guess i should go buy some.

nope, its called a proper true M80 ballast, and the same Bulb run off that will out preform a electronic ballast by far as they are actualy being run properly with the right combanation of amprage and voltage. Some electronics come close close but most are under driving the bulb. and for what its worth I got longer bulb life off my M80 than I did off the electronic also.
