| RetroJames:
Flourescent Light fixture on a Moon Patrol eats bulbs! When I power up the bulb flashes a bunch of times and burns up. Is there a usuall reason for this? Thanks, James |
| Ken Layton:
Assuming you changed the starter also when you replaced the fluorescent tube I would say your ballast is shot. When that happens it usually takes out the new tube AND starter with it. Buy a new ballast, tube, and starter. |
| RetroJames:
What are the important specs to know in matching the ballast when I buy a new one? |
| SirPeale:
Would it be cheaper to just get a new assembly? |
| jcoleman:
A new 18" lamp fixture can be found for less than $10 at Target or Wal-Mart. |
