Bathroom flourescent bulb

Can a 13 W, 2 prong quad flourescent bulb designed for use with a magnetic ballast be used in a fixture with an electronic ballast? Thanks for any information.....

You will have to read the label on the ballast to see if it would accept the lamp you are talking about.

Fluorescent tube shop light

C

crazyhelen on Oct 15, 2002

Good evening. I have just tried to replace the 2 fluorescent tubes in the shop light hanging in my basement. I used new tubes with two pins each end, identical to the ones I removed. I slide them into the tracks on either end of the fixture and then tried to twist them so they would stay in. Neither of the two tubes lights up. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!Read More

Outlet wiring correction causing problem

I'm remodeling my old fixer-upper and wanted to replace my old wall outlets with new ones but the first one I swapped caused a problem. Before I turned off the breaker I tested it with a 3-light (red-yellow-yellow) tester and it showed as hot-neutral reverse. When I pulled it out, it was incorrect just as I thought with black on the wide-blade side and white on the brass side. I also found an unconnected rolled-up bare ground wire inside the box. After replacing the outlet (with ground connected), I'm unable to turn the breaker back on because of immediate trips. This outlet is at the end of a run. I'm really confused because I think the ground was probably touching inside the metal box before. Is it possible that a brand new Levitron outlet receptacle is bad? Any ideas of what can cause this would be greatly appreciated. I'm confused to a point where I don't even know what to start looking for...Read More
