Hi there,

If it is a MH ballast, yes. If it isn't I wouldn't try it.

I use the advance raw ballast kits, also using an advance ballast that is made for the inside of signs. It kinda looks like a flourscent ballast but bigger.

I'm using Advance 72C5782-NP ballasts for about 4 years now and love them. This particular ballast is designed for use around people (ie inside) so it is "low hum" ..... I say no hum. They are large physically but have done a great job for me.
