A fluorescent lamp fixture apparatus (100) and wiring method (200) are described in which a ballast (B) is located near the fixture center (110c) and high frequency high potential wires (HFW1-HFW4) extending from the ballast are directly connected to inner lampholders (LH1a, LH2a, LH3a, LH4a), with low frequency low potential wiring runs (E1LFRUN, E2LFRUN) extending toward the fixture ends (FE1, FE2) for connection to outer lampholders (LH1b-LH4b) to mitigate capacitive and inductive coupling effects in the fixture.
