Greetings, i have two 15 W fluorescent tubes that are powered by 0.34 A, I found an electronic ballast that can work for me but this one is 17 W and with line current of 0.44 A and lamp current of 0.265 A, I would like to know if it would work or there would be a problem.
pd: ballast is electronic

The rated power being slightly higher is a better option than for it being way lower

however the filament currents - if not matching may cause flickering if they are lacking or shorten the lamp service life if excessive

also the rated RMS ON current being lower may cause issues (if there is a series capacitor then making it larger may "allow" higher lamp currents - but will the ballast withstand such is another question . . .

etc. ...
