Read the specs from the manufacture for your ballast. Some ballasts can support other than normal lamp sizes. Trying to use a standard double lamp ballast for one lamp will not work with what I am familiar with. Not to say that someone, somewhere does not make one.
I have no specs paper of the ballast I have. I tried it with a 36W fluo lamp, it works.

The ballast label has specs. It is required.
the label only specifies the ouput power and the monotube wiring.

Then it is a mono-tube ballast. D'oh!
Too bad, I expected a smarter answer !

Yet you have no problem being the IDIOT that utilizes devices OUTSIDE their rated spec(s).
D'OH!
