You probably know all fluorescent lighting fixtures have ballasts, but did you know there are different types of ballsts? And that you can determine, quite easily, whether or not your ballasts need replacing?

First some basic facts:

a basic ballast

•  Ballasts increase voltage to over 200 volts ac, to cause bright illumination in gases when energized by the current induced.
• Ballasts last years, normally, but electronic types (the newer ones) have been prone to damage by surges and spikes or lightning pulses from nearby storms.
• Your ballast can be adversely affected by leaving old blackened bulbs in the fixture for extended periods of time.
• You can easily choose to upgrade to a modern electronic ballast and T-8 tubes, and if you do it when the ballst is replaced, the extra cost is minimal, and the savings are fantastic!
• Due to the high voltage present, fluorescent fixtures should only be serviced by licensed, qualified electricians.
• First, have new tubes (which match your fixture) installed right away when your fluorescent light doesn’t work correctly. If that doesn’t fix it, or you’re not sure which type of tubes to purchase, call your licensed electrical contractor to schedule a visit.
