My box of ballasts Big variety here. Most were apparently from an electrician who would strip the ballasts from fittings he took down to fit into ones that needed replacements. He of course got old and retired and left them in a box as he no longer had a use for them. Seemed more than happy for me to have them. This is an old 'getting'. Im sure you remember the pic of these I posted on the Facebook groups.

Nice collection there! I don't use facebook so it is good to see things like this on the forums. Smile

I dont like facebook either, one of the reasons I created this site
Kev   [07 Oct, 2015 at 09:50 PM]
Yeh I may delete Facebook now seeing as this site is up and running!! Is there any 6' SRS ballasts there Jonathan as I'm after a couple!!!!???
Danny   [07 Oct, 2015 at 09:58 PM]
Facebook groups are still quite good just a shame it's full of LEDLovers
RobTDCI   [07 Oct, 2015 at 09:59 PM]
This is a nice collection of quality ballasts. Look to be mostly from the 70s & 80s.
eclipsislamps   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:02 PM]
Theres some even older black bli ones at the bottom and a couple of those brown varnished ekco ones.
Kev   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:03 PM]
How much would you sell a couple of the 75W SRS types for?
Kev   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:05 PM]
Actually I may use a couple of the chokes out those glam mix fittings Dan?
Danny   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:07 PM]
yeah use the ones out of that spare gear tray I gave you
RobTDCI   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:12 PM]
Still not got round to trying those SRS 75w you gave me Dan, must do soon!
Kev   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:16 PM]
Glammox fucking predictive text
Danny   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:19 PM]
Was it you rob that I gave those glammox ballasts to was it?
RobTDCI   [07 Oct, 2015 at 10:33 PM]
Yes, you gave me two. Very Happy

I have 2 big steel boxes of ballasts up the loft, one has 6 250watt SON ballasts in it!, I don`t know how it hasn`t fell through the ceiling!

And how many electricians today would save ballasts from fittings to repair others with. How many electricians today would even know HOW to repair a fluorescent light (save for those on boards like this)? It's sad, but they'd find any excuse now just to rip the fitting out and replace it with LED.
AngryHorse   [05 Feb, 2018 at 11:42 PM]
Time is money for most self employed sparks though, its probably quicker to change the fitting?
Slyspark   [05 Feb, 2018 at 11:47 PM]
But that said, the longer you're there, the more you earn.....
lampy   [05 Feb, 2018 at 11:53 PM]
i save old ballasts to repair old fittings lol, and surplus get weighed in for scrap
lampy   [05 Feb, 2018 at 11:56 PM]
looks like a big philips polyester filled ballast at the bottom there too, the diamond logo says polyester filled :-p
