That is probably correct. However, the bulbs were advertised to work on ANY ballast, and works fine with the AB bulb.
As I have said a number of times, the function of a ballast is to act as a current limiting device. It appears that my ballast would not allow the correct amount of current to develop. In that way it is possible the Venki bulb was unable to develop the correct level of current to fire properly.
In that respect it might be wise for the bulb distributor to amend his advertising to state that the bulb will function properly on ballast he has tried. He might also list those ballasts, and also state that it may not work on some ballasts.
I would think that would be a good compromise.
