    nice ballast replacement!!!!, my R.N wanted me to tell you that it's a shame she is forbidden to listen to music while on the job. also noticed that halogen floodlight inside the bucket with you, what do you use it for?. and what did you use the multimeter for? cool that this light didn't get replaced with an ugly LED flyswatter.

      Thank you very much 🙏. Haha, yes, it was a bit of a shame not being able to listen to music. I think I replaced it somewhere else, and it was left in the bucket. I use the multimeter for troubleshooting the fixture. Sorry if I don’t answer all your questions right now; I’m getting an extremely high volume of messages and don’t have time to respond to everything. I hope you understand.

    Yo fabrico mis propios ignitores y capacitores de factor e potencia. lo que me gusta es ese Fluke t5-600, una vez tuve uno pero no lo usaba ya que me dedico a componentes mas especificos

    With a Philips Master Son-T pia Pia Plus 150 or 250W would be very good and an electronic ballast would be much better not to waste energy for no reason, this is an old ballast

      Induction ballast are more heavy duty for street lighting and good one had small losses like only 10W, but with durability as bit unlike Philips ballasts, because these BSN have majority malfunction with winding shorts what cause rise lamp current, overheat ballast and burn out (older BSNs wihout thermal fuse like to catch in flames), also philips ignitors had tend to fall and sometimes also killing ballasts.
      In my opinion one of durable ballasts are our Elgo production ones, Tridonic/atlas and Helvar

      If you have spare parts in stock, you should make use of them. It’s not always easy, though, as they need to fit with the existing holes in the metal, etc. You have to maintain the fixtures as long as possible until they’re replaced with LED
