[QUOTE="lilacdragon, post: 1184563, member: 16347"] Interesting! The ballasts inside the Zilla Slimline Fixtures I tested in August 2009 were magnetic. Two of the three broke after only a few hours' use, and I gave one to my friend who is an electronics engineer to see why they died. (I don't know anything about such things.) He said that the ballast was “open circuit”, presumably due to a broken wire inside the coil, cause unknown, although he commented that the unit was “a cheap laminated core ballast” and the fluorescent starter was a “primitive” type and “would put some strain on the ballast at ignition”. I am not sure what that means but it doesn't sound very good, does it? Maybe Zilla have improved their product since then, though. Frances [/QUOTE]
