Review on πŸ’‘ ROBERTSON Fluorescent EBallast RSW234T12120 RSW240T12120: Reliable & Efficient Lighting Solution for Fluorescent Tubes by Justin Sherman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Low cost, easy installation, clear instructions/diagram, excellent quality. 5 stars

After over 13 years I've had to replace the ballast in both lamps in my garage and after seeing the T8's makeover and such I decided to stick with what I've been doing all these years worked for me so i bought 2 ballasts and it has to be the easiest install i have ever done. The schematic was clear, the wires are long enough for each fixture (you will most likely need to cut a bit shorter) so 4 inches shorter so before I drilled a new hole I realized that all I really needed was a large one washer was in place and the problem was solved as the washer lip was large enough to cover the mounting flange and tighten perfectly. Plugged everything back in and the light came on. As new (or better) I could have used ballast and T8 bulbs but for those two lights in the garage it seemed like a lot of work and little or no expense. The same goes for LEDs in general, you could replace the lights with lower end LED lights for a few bucks more, but to actually get the same quality of lights it would cost me twice as much as this DIY project, so 5 Stars

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some difficulties
