seen a lot of Philips branded chokes and instant start ballasts from the 60's with that diamond with Polyester filled on it. They also did a super slim version called a 'polyslim ballast'

Nice choke. I have an 80W Polyslim. It runs very hot - at least it does on 2 x 2' 40W.

Cool bet this is bomb proof as for the 2' 40W nick maybe higher current on those lamps?
BC5-80   [16 Feb, 2017 at 08:56 PM]
Yes Kev, higher current but it's an 80W choke so should be designed for it.
