SNIP


The life of the ballast can be quite long as it is only an inductor
and capacitor. And, when you add to that the fact that this high
current crest factor ballast destroys lamps rather quickly, you can
see that the ballast should outlast many lamps :-)


And of course the short life will be blamed on the lamps! ==Sigh==
