Default 2 Pin Compact Fluorescent Lights
Does any company make an electronic ballast that will work with 2 pin compact fluorescent lamp fixtures?

Not to my knowledge, on a two pin cfl, the ballast just acts as a choke.

I just checked the Advance and Universal web sites and neither lists an electronic ballast for a 13w 2pin cfl.

Interesting. I actually thought ALL CFL's ran on electronic ballasts. Learn something new everyday....

The two pin compact flourescents have an internal starter and require the magnetic ballast.

It may have a built in preheat starter but that doesn't preclude it from using an electronic ballast.

Call Advance tech helpline. I think I remember running into this problem before, and they had a solution for it.
