Thanks, Sea!
They just use wire nuts on those lights. If you are worried about the ballast just take it off line. They are not wired in series. JK
Thanks JK! Unfortunately, I'm a complete blooming idiot when it comes to anything electrical! I'm afraid I didn't understand a bit of that. I hope you don't mind if I ask you to clarify for me...
A. What are "wire nuts" & why would they matter?
B. How would you "take it offline"? Do I have to unwire something?
C. Wired in series? That's opposed to being wired in parallel...right? (I'm amazed I even knew that!) I'm clueless as to what they mean, though. Why would this matter?
I was more just thinking about removing two of the bulbs if it's safe. If I can't do that, I'll probably just use it like it is. I'm afraid I'd either screw something up, or charco-broil my ass if I go messin' around inside! I probably should have phrased my q differently. I probably should have just said:
Is it safe to remove 2 of the bulbs and if so, do I need to remove one from each side, or two from the same side?
Thanks so much!
