Ballasts: putting KL45 for K49B
#1

I need to sub L49B, and as it is rare I idecided to go withh K49B which is close enough.

Now that I found one in Play things of the past, Gary answered me that he does not have K49B that was listed there but has KL45 which he says is the direct sub.

I cannot find any literature on the Amperites so I do not know how to put the KL45 for L49B and also I understand that I may need to configure the universal sub.

Can anyone either explain it to me here or point me towards the exact instructions for Amperite?

Mike.

Got the answer, it is a direct substitute with additional taps so when using it I should make sure the vacant pins on the socket are not used for anything else (which thtey are not).
Well, good!
