dead Current T5 HO 39W ballast

Hi,

I bought a used fixtures that had a broken ballast.

Has anyone replaced the ballast other than using Current USA.

It is a Nova Extreme T5 HO 4 x 39W. One of the ballast doesn't seem to fire, the bulbs work in the other sockets.

Thanks,

Harvey

You should contact Current. Most other ballasts wont fit their fixture.

You will have to open up the fixture and find out how many ballasts you have and how many bulbs each ballast fires. Then you can select the proper size ballast. I would recommend these for a cheap alternative as the ballasts from current won't last as long.

They will also have a wiring diagram that you can follow if you're unfamiliar with their equipment.
