Most likely you can as the internal wiring within the e-ballast is in parallel otherwise if one T5 tube goes kaput, the other will not be able to turn on.

Thank You all Bros for all your help.

Bro Monster,
Cannot leh.The T5 I got from AM has 3 tubes and now one tube cannot work.
I check and found it is the eballst problem.
I get Osram and Tridonic eballast, but all is for 2 tubes.
So need expert on how to make the eballast to run on one tube.
