Ampacity of ballast wire?

[ritelec]

Hi. Rewiring a two bulb 8’ fluorescent fixture fixture to use two 8’ led bulbs.
Is the ballast wire rated that one wire can feed one side of both bulbs (hot) and one wire feed the other side of both bulbs (neutral)? Thank you.

Ok, I was just wondering. But a google search shows fluorescent tubes draw significantly more current than led.
I don’t know what type of amperage this wire can handle but I think it will be fine with the led tubes.
Thank you.

The 18ga fixture wire that is there is what you use.

I've done hundreds of these conversions and used the fixture wires on all of them.
