Hello everyone , new guy here.
My house is an old one and my garage has very poor lighting, no windows, only light other than opening my garage door is via old fixture with one bulb. My neighbor, before he moved gave me a 8ft commercial strip fixture that is pretty much brand new open box with no manual. I done minor electrical work, wall sockets, ceiling fans and I'm some -what overly cautious with this.
The Ballas say's 120v to 277v. However, the wiring coming from the old light fixture only has black/white wires with no ground wire. Should I not use this this strip fixture without earth wire?
The pic with the wires are running into the old fixture, into the bulb from my attic
