Arc80 tray out of retirement!

Oh am I soooo glad I didn’t bin this baby!, took me a bit of finding, but I’d put it safe into my gear store box. Slight modification in removing the ignitor, but my SON-I stock has just doubled in size!

Always found it a bit odd that they didn't earth the ballast in these? I know it's on a plastic tray but still good practice to earth the ballast case. Ours first appeared in 2013, though didn't stay for very long as a couple of years later they switched to CU Phosco products so there were very few of them ever installed in my area Cool

Heat sinking was my first thought?, but I suppose inside a relatively cold lantern at night they don’t get that warm?
