ballast? ,

Yup but most of those hardware store uncles when I tell them ballast they look at me funny and when I draw them the picture they told me its called a choke. FYI I bought the 36/40W Ballast/ Choke the same type that I have been using for the last 5yrs.

When I break fast, I'll join you guys. Right this month, I'm still celibate since I became a vegetarian. I'm practicing on opening my third eye. So far, I've been quite successful in nourishing my pineal gland by learning primordial gigong tactics.

Hiya was wondering if any of you bros out there know anything about home electrical lighting? You see usually at home when the lights spoil usually I would change the starter or the tube and once in a blue moon the choke. However this time I am in a jam when my bathroom light won't work. I tried changing the starter and the tube but still it did not work. So I changed the choke and it worked but after I switched off and on again I smell something burnt and did not work again. After changing another new choke it worked again but after I switched off and on again it burnt again :( Was wondering if any of you chaps can help me out and advice me what to do next?

Thanks

Did you try replacing the electrical ballast?
