Re: [GSAS-Member] Anywhere in town to buy CF bulbs? Fulham Workhorse 5 Ballast

[Matt Staroscik <matt@wrongcrowd.com>]

The exciting ballast saga concludes: after checking everything that is not
the ballast, it all looks ok. It was remotely possible that the cord,
switch, or critical connector at the ballast ground had failed, but they all
checked out. That Fulham is the same part that is in my fixture, so
replacement will be a snap. I even found it a few bucks cheaper.

I just wish I had it NOW. When I am in the mood to finish a project, I hate
to wait. :)
