Hi there guys I'm a newbie on here!
I have worked on electrics myself since the age of 16 and I know enough to work alone safely.
I have however come across something new, I have a very smart kitchen light which the ballast failed on today. the only way to remove the old ballast was to snip the wires off. I couldn't get them out, I tried pressing & lifting the plastic tab but couldn't remove them.
Do I need to attach new brass ferrules on the cable to re-fit the new ballast or will the tabs grip the cable itself? The cable is stranded not solid core.
I appreciate any help as there is nowt out in the net, only American, pre-wired ballasts we don't get over here in the UK. Why not I don't understand.
cheers guys.
