A d.c. fluorescent ballast is actually two devices in one.
The technical name is an inverter - ballast.
It takes a d.c. voltage, inverts it into a.c., and then steps it
up to a high enough voltage and frequency to fire and
then run a fluorescent tube or tubes.
Each Thinlite ballast has a wiring diagram on the back for
easy replacement.
