On a side note, it appears it's an instant start ballast and not a very good one either. I hope you didn't pay too much to replace the old ballast...
This type of terminal should really only be used with solid core cable so I'd advise fitting the correct size ferrules
The lamp is bad or you've fitted the wrong wattage of lamp most likely. The HF ballast will be shutting the lamp down thinking it's faulty as the...
Download the specific driver for whatever model you have from the Toshiba website. Touchpad drivers usually have an option to enable 'palm...
Your printer is laser so the "ink" cartridges actually contain toner. The chip will be what keeps track of how many prints the cartridges have...
Is the "roof" above a loft? If so you can terminate the 10mm into a 3A fused spur in the loft and run 1mm cable down to the light, or as above...
If you don't mind going back to CFLs it might be worth looking for some good quality new old stock ones?
You don't mention colour temperature of the Maxim lamps you bought, maybe they are cool white 4000k or "daylight" circa 6000k? You want warm white...
You will be better off just buying a new one, 802.11N is ancient now. I advise an 802.11AC minimum, something like this will do the trick (£13):...
Just fyi, half the price on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tridonic-PC-2x58w-T8-PRO-sl-Ballast/224137234984?hash=item342f9eca28:g:b5AAAOSwUwRfSWHW
You've been ripped off and the replacement fitting will not last long either if it has the same cheap nasty driver fitted. I strongly recommend...
It is a current operated elcb so is an RCD
Correct for my installation. Are you asking me or op though?
Despite it looking a bit questionable, I'm pretty sure it does. Even if it doesn't, I know it's 100% safe and it's my own house. It's fed from a...
They're halogen lamps that run at crazy temperatures themselves, the temperature above the stove is nothing in comparison Edit: hang on, I've...
I'd suggest any lighting above a stove should be supplied from a (remote) 12v selv transformer. In that case you could just leave some lamps...
Reply #4 told you what to buy, a week ago
I'd consider Philips to be no longer a "top brand" of lamp. It's entirely possible they're just noisy due to poor/cheapened-down circuit design....
Many T5 lamps last 20k hours alone & a decent HF ballast has a MTBF of 100k hours. I don't see how 25k hours for an entire fitting that one throws...
You are quite right, and I can't provide that evidence, but I'd bet money some of the older magnetic ballasts would do them hours easily. There's...
