yes it will, you just have to make sure you have the correct bulbs/wattage for T5's, and the correct wiring. Check out fulham's website.

So let me see if I understand this. A ballast rated for running two 65W pc bulbs should be able to run two 54w T5s?

A fulham ballast can, you'd have to inquire with the specific manufacturer
