I have got some Lithonia 654's. They came with two ballasts (One for two bulbs and one for the other four) and are default wired to have all bulbs on. Can someone tell me how to wire them so I can have two bulbs on or four bulbs. I want to accomplish this with two seperate switches for each fixture. . Thanks, Chris

I am going to wire these with 12/3 nm and I have some 14/3 cord to run from the electical box to the fixture.

Easy! The 2 ballasts will share the neutral(white wire) in the NM feeding the fixture and then the black and red hot wires will feed one ballast each, connecting to the black lead of the ballast!

I did some more research and found that the 4 lamp ballast also has a black, white and a grey/red wire which could be used to isolate that ballast into a 2 lamp ballast also. It comes standard with it tied into the black wire. Thanks for your responce wylie !!
