September 17, 20197 yr Well there’s now 4 of 8 double fittings gone out. Know nothing about how they work and have an electrician apprentice coming on Friday for a look. (He is cheap) @ProDave am I on the right track, oh and @Onoff I have ordered 4 of these and I’m guessing the juice will be getting through, I have tried changing tubes so these might be US and need replaced? The internet photos of the replacement ballasts look to have slightly different spade fittings even though they are the same brand/make and model number is this within the scope of a standard spark to fix? thanks TL Edited September 17, 20197 yr by Tennentslager
September 17, 20197 yr Standard spark should be able to fix that. But if all 4 went out at the same time, highly unlikely to be simultaneous ballast failures?
September 17, 20197 yr Author Been in for 18 months they have died slowly over that time. I have to get finger out now as one in small room it’s the only light, in the big room I’ve lost three out of 9 and there’s big windows so it’s still bright! is it a fair assumption it’s the ballast that’s gubbed?
September 17, 20197 yr Time to replace the lot with LED's? I was asked to replace all the fittings in our village hall after 2 Tridonic ballasts caught fire, one resulting in Trumpton attending.
September 17, 20197 yr Author Makes sense and boy are they cheap! 600x600 plus wall mount for £40 and a lovely bright light and dimmable ill look into it

July 25, 20206 yr Author I did not fit a dimmer so nothing I can say about that. Vendor was https://www.lampshoponline.com/40w-led-panel-6000k-600mm-x-600mm-c-w-driver.html looks like inflation has put the price up a bit but still £23 per panel. BTW they came packed (from the factory in 4s including the mounting kit)
