Thanks for the offer. I'm going to try and locate either a glow bottle or
another ballast the next time I am in "The Big City".
I just have to be careful because the ballast has to fit into a pretty
small
space in the aquarium lighting unit.

If you can find the ones with the electronic ballast (Shop Lights) they are
TINY.

The small ballasts used in shop lights are very poor quality. They are
usually a series C-L ballast that produces very high lamp current
crest factor which in turn results in short lamp life.
