Thorn Beta 5 Open
|
Here's a pic I took back in November of the Beta 5 open with the new electronic fluorescent ballast installed just before I put the fixture up to trial it on the new ballast.It's now been over 4 months and still working great. The original CGE F-can ballast is shown which lasted only about 5 years,the core and coil ballast I replaced it with (not shown) lasted about 20 years.

@ traffic light1: Thanks!
@ Vince: Yes I kept the CGE F-can all these years XD I was wondering if it was a possible capacitor failure, but I never investigated any further thinking that it would be well buried in the potted ballast.
@Mike, back when I ran LPS lamps on a electronic ballast, I had mine wired up exactly like Darren wired his up. Worked fine but I rarely use that setup anymore now that I have a real 18w LPS fixture.
