About 18 months ago we became aware of a failure problem associated with power factor correction capacitors for luminaires. This problem appears to have been created by the shift of some manufacturers from aluminium to zinc alloy films. Can anyone advise me of the current status of the problem - particularly in Europe. I am specifically interested in the current understanding of the failure mechanism and the position taken regarding recalls due to the fire hazard created. Answers posted to my email address will be treated as confidential.
