I have been fighting the 8ft t12 fixtures in the shop. I had a couple of lights out and replaced bulbs and a ballast in one of them and it was fine. Lately I have had about 3-4 fixtures out again so I bought a case of bulbs. These are 8ft with 2 bulbs per fixture. So I swapped bulbs with new ones and a couple were still dead. So I replaced the old heavy magnetic ballast with the newer electronic ballast and after much hassle the 2 are working but with new ballast and bulbs they flicker badly, would probably cause a seizure. So, what to check next? One thing I did find odd was I unhooked the wires running to 1 end of one fixture and it shut off the other fixture I was working on. They are on the same circuit but not wired in series or anything as fast as I can tell.
On another note on the other side of the shop I have 2-3 8ft t8 fixtures that have 4 4ft bulbs in them and those seem to be way way brighter than the others Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
