Repeat: Simpson SET1.7KTA Epoxy-Tie Anchoring Adhesive is cheap and no special gun required. comes in 1.7 oz. tubes so little waste. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They make 0 start,-20 start, and -22 start. I don't use the 0 rated ones. Also, order a few extra ballasts. Reguardless of price, none of the elec ballast have a long life from what I have seen.
