Ballast replacement?... Really?
A lot of contractors replace entire
ballast kits when a fixture isn't working because they may not know how to
troubleshoot it or may not care.
Fixtures are made up of many
components. A transformer, a capacitor, a starter, a lamp, a lamp socket, a connection
block, and the associated wiring.
We've been doing this long enough to
know which components usually fail and how to troubleshoot them. Then we
replace only the parts that are bad, saving the customer money -sometimes lots
of money.
Really, there's usually no need to
completely gut a fixture and replace high dollar parts if it's only a bad
capacitor.
