US operates on 60 cycle per second AC, I think much of Europe is 50?
Not sure of Canada – do they have electricity up there yet?
A ballast is a transformer – so 60 cycle AC power in, 60 cycle power output to the lamp/bulb/tube.
Notice how car wheels or in the old westerns, wagon wheels seemed to be going backwards? It’s a product of lighting, TV rates, and our eyes are actually more akin to digital than analog in many ways.
