Why does your fluresant light not work after you installed a ballast?
Do you have the right ballast for the type of lamps you are using? Check on the nameplate of the ballast to see it matches with the type of tubes you are using. Are the tubes snug in the lamp holders? Is the fluorescent fixture grounded using the fixture ground screw? Do you have voltage to the ballast? On most lamp start ups you can see the lamp filament glow on each end of the tube. If you don't see the filament glow on any of the tube ends, check the wires going to that lamp holder.

fluorescent bulbs have mercury in them. There are heaters at the ends of the bulb that vaporizes the mercury to allow the light to be produced ( the fluorescence on the inside of the bulb is what actually glows). If the bulb is cold you do not get the ionization of the mercury to cause the fluorescent powder inside the bulb to glow, or it just glows a small amount.
