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?

Well, yes, he *is* thick, but he's also a troll.

There's no doubt about the former assessment and, despite his own
protestations against the latter charge, the effect of his readyness
to argue 'black is white' in the face of seemingly wilful ignorance
makes his behaviour indistinguishable from that of the classic usenet
troll.

I only bother to respond to his posts now to prevent any of his ill
informed assertions going unchallenged (in this case 'that LEDs are
ten times more efficient than incandescent lamps').

As far as trying to argue the facts with him, it's like "Trying to
Educate Pork", so I avoid wasting too much time on this sort of
enterprise. Life's short enough as it is.
