Can you also use a 4 lamp ballast for 2 lamps?

Many replacement ballasts can be connected to more than one combination of lamps so that a 4 lamp ballast can be connected to a 3 or 2 lamp ballast. This is indicated directly on the label and on the wiring diagram. There are no shortcuts, you have to look at the specific reactor and see if the reactor is listed for that use.
