I just bought an electronic ballast from HomeDepot for my lighting project and I have a couple of problems already. Maybe you guys can help! First question: I brought this ballast home and as soon as I opened the package there's a label that says "FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY. Not for residential." It's a GE ULTRAMAX electronic ballast (GE-432-max-n-ip). Why can't I use this in my house for my aquarium? It also says to ground the ballast and the fixture. My fixture is made of wood so how can I ground that? Do I ground the ballast with the ground wire that comes out of the extension cord lead? This thing also says for 4-F32T8's will it run the T-12's? Will T-8's fit into a T-12 socket? :?:
Thanks for the help!!!! :-D
