As long as to the ballast it matches the white and black of the mogul and the wire supports the wattage (1000v. min type of wire)

yes thank you.......upon further inspection..........it does matter if you use both power wires on the back of the mogul if you aren't using the green ground wire.....so i guess my next investment will be a trip to the eye doctor......or kindergarten to refresh on my colors.....
