any reason why a T8 ballast wont drive a T5?
 
tagging along ....

I tried this a while back and it just wouldn't work. The T5 globes just flashed the whole time and wouldn't stay on. It looked as if the ballast weren't strong enough to run the T5 globes.

Unless i done something wrong!
 
anyone know of cheap ballasts in jhb, not the R300 they want to charge etc...
builders has t8 ballasts for like R50
 
cool, will look again this weekend
 
24w,39w and 54w
 
Was dual 54w ballasts, and not one gave the problem that voslo schawbe ballast sometimes has with lights going off when another set is turned on.
 
separate for each, pm me what u want for them
 
thanks, i have some T8 ballasts and T5 globes
