I just hung a florescent fixture in my garage and it has an electronic ballast. The ballast says I need T8 bulbs (32 watt). I looked online and found out these are 1 inch dia. bulbs. All I could find at the local hardware store were the "standard" 32 watt bulbs, that are one and a half (1 1/2) inch CW bulbs. (T12). The bulbs fit in the fixture and light. But I am concerned that it may damage the ballast or bulb, since this is not the recommended bulb.
Anyone got any comments?
Thanks
