Default Electronic ballasts for fluorescents - wattages and pin connections

Lower wattage, I presume?

Yes, electronic ballasts generally work with pretty much anything
(until you get to the tiny tubes for magnifiers). Older, non-
electronic ones, were more fussy - with too low a power tube, they
might never strike and switch the tube on.
