An effective way to keep old appliances working

I have lived in this house for 18 years and most of my appliances are almost the same age. These ballasts are an exact replacement for HD Hampton Bay lights. The schematics didn't bother me, but I'm an experienced builder, I do the wiring myself. You need to cut the power wires in the right place, strip the ends, and use small nuts for the wires. All of these semiconductor components have an undefined failure rate. I immediately had unreliable Toyota car electronics. China is becoming an international manufacturing giant and my subjective assessment is that the reliability of these ballasts is steadily improving. Just a few years ago most of my ballasts lasted more than 5 years. When the ring mounts start going haywire, I freely admit that diagnosing can be confusing. The problem may be the tube, sometimes a new tube is defective --- it can drive you crazy. Prices and delivery times were very satisfactory. I buy two or three at a time and keep a supply for spares. I have not found a replacement from a local warehouse or another manufacturer.

Pros
  • Electrician
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
