Ooh, that's like putting Fluke leads on a Megger.! Mind Blown

I wouldn't put the leads that Megger currently supply on any of ours, they're crap Mr. Green

My first and one of my favourite ballast. I had the smaller 45W/60W SOI/H version but over heated it with an eol lamp many years ago and have never found another. Crying or Very sad I would have has a go at rewinding it if I'd known how hard to find these are now.

I thought that these ballasts were bullet and bomb proof, they would just keep working no matter what. HID ballast

Failing SOX lamps can be tough on the ballast. Smoke started to appear from the secondary coil. Sad
Sammi   [Thu 22 May 2025 at 14:14]
Oh no.! You let the magic smoke out.! Mind Blown

You'll never get that stuff back in Mr. Green
