you can get a suitable ballast
circuit board out of a compact fluorescent lamp, or you can get a nice
electronic ballast on ebay that'll work. I used a Triad ballast
designed for 18W CFL's to replace the shorted chokes in my spa
ozonator which has an 8W lamp.


Ok, I'll forget about trying to repair it. Should I use the ballast from a
9W CFL lamp and/or is it possible to wire two 8W bulbs in series to an 18W
ballast for double the light?

THX!
