average lifetime of an electronic ballast
I'm using 2x400 MH driven by two Icecap ballasts.
since some months I've noticed a relevant decline on light brightness despite I've recently changed (twice ) the lamps. Could it be that ballasts are getting older and decreasing their efficiency? has somebody an idea how long is the average lifetime of such ballast before reducing their efficiency? thanks for enlighten me

I can't speak for Icecap MH ballasts, but I have a 660 for VHO that is going on 20 years old now.
