Please, more info. A buddy just gave me a 4-foot light with T8 bulbs. What do I need?
I assume it's a 120-volt fixture and not a 277-volt.
On a 120-volt fixture go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy the new smaller tombstone sockets to replace those that are on it now. Buy two T-15 lamps and throw the T-8's away as they will be phased out soon. Get the T-15's listed for a bathroom as these will have a "colder" shade of light (bluer) than a "warmer" shade of light (redder). Make sure the ballast works. The fixture can be attached as any lighting fixture or attach a cord whip (minimum 14 AWG wire).
if it's a 277-volt fixture -throw it in the recycling bin and buy a new one.
