Hi plum,

A Fulham Workhorse 5 ballast will handle 2X55 compact fluorescent bulbs. Fulham is well known and available at many locations, here is one that is offering it for less than $23 http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page...lhamWH/WH5120L. If you need instructions for wiring, visit the Fulham website and use wiring diagram 11 for the Workhorse 5 ballast. http://www.fulham.com/images/WDgifs/wire11.gif
