Not sure where to ask this question, anyone know how to test if a ballast is burnt out? I have a 110watt PC fixture that stopped working on me. I would like to repair it if I can but not to sure on what to do.

Thanks

Marcus

Do you have another bulb that you can test it on....Cause as far as I know the cost of repair for a ballast your better off jut buying a new one!

Yeah, I tryed two other bulbs and they wont fire. I will see what a lighting place would charge if the do such a service. Thanks

I can get you a ballast for a good price. Usually cheaper than replacing your fixture. E-mail me with the specs to your fixture and I'll see what I can come up with.

Thank you, I will take the fixture apart and see what info I can get off the ballast.

Not to shove Karl out of the way, but if that doesn't pan out (or shipping it turns out to be ridiculous), you could try Albrite Lighting as well. They have, if memory serves, locations in BC, Alberta, and SK. They carry just about anything you might be looking for.
