old ballast burns starters?
Can an old (30 yrs) ballast end up by quickly burning out new
starters? (This is in a 12" 32W circline bathroom fixture.) Would an old ballast have any telltale signs if it is malfunctioning? Would it have that burnt smell itself? Thanks. The light stopped working, so I replaced the ballast. No difference. So I opened the old and new starter cans (both are FS12) and both looked and smelled burnt. I don't know if the new starter was defective when I bought it, but it did provide a really slow start. |
