thanks for your reply scott very helpful!!

just a couple of points;
is the ballast polarised as the fitting fails to work if you swap the input for the output and out for the in?i dont think the ignitor plays any part in this as it works at any tapping on the ballast (there is different voltage tappings)
and also the fitting fails to operate if the tapped lead for the ignitor is taken off the out going of the ballast,i cant see any reason why this will not work.

thanks again for all your efforts on this subject even though it may have become boring for you!!!!!
