PS, always wire a florescent ballast so that when you turn off the lights - it removes power from the system. Most people wire the ballast hot all the time - switching the return to on/off the light - and then run hot drops off the circuit to plugs around the room. (so that with the lights off - the plugs are always hot) A short in this style circuit design can overheat the ballast without popping the breaker - and it will/may eventually catch fire - or set the ceiling insulation on fire.
