This is not a dimmable ballast.

This ballast is specifically made for the 40W Circular style bulbs. This
ballast is not designed for any other bulb type.
We have had customers mistakenly purchase this ballast for 27W fluorescent lamps with lower amperage requirements and it does not
work in that application.
If you have any questions about using or installing this ballast please call technical support at 336-882-2854.
This ballast is designed to drive the FC40W circular bulbs including the FCL40T5, FC40T5, FC12T5/841 and all other color temperature and part number variations of this bulb. This ballast may not fit in all fixtures. Each equipment manufacturer has their own ballast with a variety of shapes, sizes and wiring methods. In some cases it may require a little engineering to use this ballast in your fixture.
Basic Wiring Information
The white wire is the neutral wire and goes to the white wire coming from the wall.The black wire is the hot wire and will go through your switch. This means that the black wire from the wall will go to one side of your switch and a wire from the other side of the switch goes to the black wire on the ballast. The switch interrupts the power supplied to the ballast.
Our ballast has two red and two yellow wires coming out of the ballast. These four wires go to the socket directly. The bulb has two filaments and the two red wires go to one filament and the two yellow wires go to the other filament. Lay your FC40W bulb on a table in front of you with the pins facing toward you. The circular lamp should be flat on the surface. There is a filament on the right and a filament on the left. You can wire to the relative positions in the socket a red wire to the upper left, a red wire to the lower left, a yellow wire to the upper right and the other yellow wire to the lower right. The red wires go to the filament on the left and the yellow go to the filament on the right. It does not matter which side is red and which side is yellow but you cannot cross the wires. A red and a yellow will not light up a filament.
You can order the following replacement socket here.
