Advance Slimline Ballast
|
Full-power, non-PCB, and magnetic! As good as it gets! I've always liked slimlines, and for my first this is a pretty good score for a ballast! Kind of like the F40 rapid start GE Bonusline in my first F40 fixture. I seem to have a knack for good scores by accident, like in this case talking to a neighbor about fluorescent lights.

Despite being instant-start, this still has a bit of startup flicker all the time, and on my low line voltage and modified-sine-wave inverter electricity when I'm not running my generator it starts like rapid start! I tried getting a video but it didn't turn out very well.
@ Joe; my grandpa's HOs don't flicker much either but they start slow on a cold start like rspid start (well HOs are rapid start but like an F40) but on a warm start they instant start.
Do the 75w lamps have that rectifying-like flicker when cold like F40s do on a full power ballast? I hate the LPF ones that just...flicker...(but not striate) when cold with 40w lamps...know what I'm describing...a random, annoying flicker when it's like 40 degrees...
