Ballast RF Interference
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has experenced this. When my T5HO ballast is running, one of my TV's get crappy reception. We figured it out it was the ballast because it only happens when we turn it on and it goes away when we turn it off. Is there anyway to shield this interference? I plan on contacting the manufacture in a few. The ballast is this one. http://www.specialty-lights.com/010495.html |

Are the TV and the ballast on the same electrical circuit? It might help to switch outlets.

Wow. You got yourself a noisey ballast.
 I would think about swapping it out for another. Maybe the MFG will swap at no cost?
