Lights of America produces all kinds of lights... UV, flourescent, party lights, and they are fairly cheep.
Now here is why. The transformers sit on each end of the bulb. between each transformer and the powerline is a set of these...
a 750k resistor and a 15.93nf capacitor.
this is what they call ballast I think.
The capacitor charges up enough power to start the gas, and the resistor allows enough power through after the initial gas lightup - to keep the gas lit.
Note there are two of these.. in a 2 light T-12 4' shop light.
The lamps don't light.
what the prob? bulbs are new. transformers gone? what other test can I do?
What is a capacitor with a resistor across it called? (guess=speciallized shunt?)
