Electronic ballast

[plutonic000]

Hello

The electronic ballast has gone on my bathroom light, I have tried 3 new bulbs and none work. I have attached an image of the current ballast and a link to one on amazon, I thought they look the same but I've been told it's too big for my current fitting?

Does anybody know of anywhere where I can just get a like for like?

Any help is really appreciated

The description on amazon says its ok for your light, which appears to be a 28w 2d, however the picture is not of what they describe and is for a 14w or 21w T5 tube .
The best ballast i think is https://lightsave.co.uk/index.php/tridonic-pc1-28t8pro-ballast.html if you can find one for reasonable postage, google 28w 2d ballast, sometimes you have to re drill the fixing holes, even the square shaped ones will do the job https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIDONIC-D...021pAnSA==&sprefix=2d+b,industrial,154&sr=8-3

Is there a special reason for wanting to repair the fitting, because for less outlay you could simply buy a complete new LED fitting?

To be honest, I dont know what I'm doing at all and it seems like the easiest option

Is the light inside, or out of doors? That makes a big difference to the type of fitting enclosure.

It's the light in my upstairs bathroom. I have seen you can buy a kosnic LED bulb and this should fit pretty straightforward?

Rather than an LED replacement lamp, why not a complete LED fitting?

Something like this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17495650...3qRFYf72Ag%3D%3D|clp:2334524|tkp:BFBMsons-7hf

I bought two similar for our kitchen, if they are the same, you install and connect up a base, then the main unit just clips/slides onto the base - making it just a second to replace a failed unit, should you ever need to do that. Mine were installed around three years ago and still working absolutely fine. Really good light too.

No.
Installing those involves removing the existing ballast and rewiring the fitting.

Just go to Toolstation tomorrow and buy one of these: https://www.toolstation.com/mark-lighting-led-ip54-bulkhead/p39289
and dispose of the old 2D fitting.
