This is for 2 T12 H.O. lights from the looks and labeling on the item.

I would say from how it looks your better off buying a new Lithunia $9 shop lamp from the depot..

It's basically a dual fluorescent shop light ballast. It's no good to you by itself unless you want to keep it for a spare for your already working fixture. Any new or working fixture would already have one. It's pretty much useless by itself.

Have you considered moving your vegetating plants outside (if possible) and move them in when you want to flower them.. now we are past the vernal equinox..?
