Yes you can.You will need a ballest that is rated to the watts of the blub.Ballest are like this, one tube,2 tubes, 4tubes,8tubes,the ballest has to say it wiil run 2,4,8 tubes at the wattage that the tubes are.Meaning that 2 tubes 4'long at 40 watts will need a ballest that runs 2 tubes at 40 watts.You can get the sockets at lowes or homedepot or a electric supply house.Just have to follow the wiring diagram printed on the ballest.I got away from tube lights and use the 150 watt cfls,much easyer and the ballest is build in the light.All you need is the mogel socket which cost around $6.00 at elec supply house or online.One or two of them and you have better lighting then the tubes. PEACE
