Review on πŸ’‘ Fulham WorkHorse Adaptable Ballast WH2 120 L - Reliable Lighting Solution for Versatile Applications by Jayshawn Cuatlayol

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well even when it isn't, and matches original ballast profile

If you're a jack of all trades and a handyman who hates throwing away near-perfect things, then this might be for you. When the utility companies were offering discounts on fluorescent lights many years ago, I took advantage of those deals and bought half a dozen of these floor lamps, one of which used the equivalent of that ballast. This particular fixture has 3 compact fluorescent lamps, each with its own ballast. It doesn't exactly match the size and configuration so I had to drill a new hole to attach it to the mounting plate - works fine but fits snugly. Obviously it has other uses and will likely be used for a while - unlike the round Sunpack SP120-1-55D which (in my experience at least) was more commonly used in fluorescent flashlights. The only reason I didn't give it a five is that it didn't quite match the original ballast configuration and I had to tweak it.

Pros
  • COMFORT: Light weight; Small suitcase size
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
