The electronic ballasts (either retro fit kits or complete batten
fittings) just don't make economic sense when it comes to upgrading an
existing installation. They'd never last long enough to realise any
ROI value (never mind the ballast's service life, _you'd_ never live
long enough to see a positive ROI even if the parts could last that
long!). They barely make sense on new build installations as it is.
They need to drop in price by a good 70% before they become a viable
retro fit option.

What has the Republic Of Ireland to do with it?

Are you really too thick to read ROI in context as Return On Investment?

I've never heard that phrase before. Only "pay for itself in a year" or similar.
