Yea that is close. I was thinking he had 96 watt bulbs. Whether it would work or not, I don't know. One way to find out.
hehehe
I bet it would work just fine... Maybe not optimal, but it would shine ;-)
I have heard many stories about aquarists replacing magnetic
ballasts from old fluorescent lamp fixtures buzzing with the annoying
50/60Hz noise with the electronic ballasts removed from broken
compact fluoroscent bulbs (the one with a decent wattage of 20-25W)
If the wattage of the bulb is similar, the electronics should work fine.
Running fluorescent bulb will adjust its own voltage nicely...
Then they just need to close this electronic board in some water tight
project box and secure in a dry place protected from water splash.
Of course it is always BEST AND SAFE to use only proper
ballast and proper bulbs, but if somebody has DIY bug in his
body and likes to experiment than do, on your own risk of course ... :-)
As it was said here - if electricity is not your friend, and you are
not sure what are you doing, than just hire an electrician to do the job.
