Depends what you a re wanting to do. You can always retrofit, buying a 2 x 18W T8 electronic ballast and 2 sets of end caps for a little less. You learn a little DIY too then and its a npiece of p*** to wire. There is a pin at the top of this section showing you how :

Personally I would buy 2 ballasts so you can switch them on/off independently of the other.

2 of these = £9.10 (inc shipping)

2 of these = £11.98+shipping:

Result 2 independent tubes. You can use 1 or 2 when you want and have the satisfaction that you put them together Is just a matter of connect a plug to a lead and pushing the other end (blue.brown into the ballast. then push the lamp lead wires into the other end and wahey.. Put a tube in and be blinded
