    Hi, if using eBallast, this thread can help:

    If using magnetic ballast, need to make slight adjustment to include the starter. But for your 3ft cover, a 2x36W eBallast should be just nice with 2 pcs of 36W PL tube. Hope space allows for the eBallast. Good luck.

    Great - Mr Chan has all the DIY kit (tubes, C-clips, e-Ballast, wires etc) you will need. Always good to call first to check availability.
