If you are a handyman or tinker who despises throwing almost-perfectly good stuff away, this could be the one for you. Many years ago, when utility companies offered incentives for fluorescent torch lamps, I took advantage of the deals and bought a half dozen of those standing lamps - This lamp has three compact fluorescent bulbs, each with its own ballast, so I had to drill a new hole to attach it to the mounting plate - it isn't an exact size/config match, so I had to drill a new hole to attach it to the mounting plate - It works fine, but it's a close fit. Obviously, there are other applications for this, and it will most likely be around for a long time - Unlike the Sunpack SP120-R, which is circular, the Sunpack SP120-R is square. 55D, which was more common in fluorescent torch lamps (at least in my experience). The only reason I didn't give it a five is that it isn't an exact replica of the original ballast configuration, and I had to rig it.
This is a perfect match for my Polipo fluorescent from PLC. I was on the verge of spending $300 on the newer LED version 962SNLED. Instead, it cost $25 and took 30 minutes, the majority of which was spent removing the metric nuts that held the ballast in place. My entire family (especially myself) is overjoyed that we can now see in the bathroom.
I work as the Maintenance Director at a nursing home with 170 beds. Nearly two years ago, we installed approximately sixty T5 fluorescent fixtures in some newly remodeled bathrooms. This ballast is used by all of them, and about four of them have failed completely after one year and nine months. In addition, many of the fixtures appear to have failed lamps. It's possible that it's the lamps, but I've tried two different brands and am beginning to doubt it. br>Around two hundred other fluorescent fixtures with different types of ballasts were installed at the same time, replacing all of the lighting on our first floor. So far, only one of the ballasts in those fixtures has failed.
Just a heads up: if you order the single pack, you will receive the ballast shown below, not the Fulham Workhorse 2 shown below. In my application, it still worked perfectly. At least for the last 24 hours; we'll see how it holds up in the long run.
My old ballast broke down after 13 years of use, so I had to replace it with the exact same product. br>It was difficult to install because the lamp's design prevents easy access and the wires were too short.
Amazingly, it's still available, and at a reasonable price, for those of us who haven't yet upgraded to ballast-free LED (and who blew their electronic ballast by failing to bypass it when converting to LED).
These were replacement ballasts for older fixtures that had burnt out.
This is my second purchase of this ballast, and if the current trend continues, I will soon have to upgrade to LED under cabinet kitchen lighting.
