Help me locate a replacement ballast

[sivert55]

I have a 48" power-compact fixture with two ballasts running 4 65w PC bulbs. One of the ballasts burned out. I pulled it out and found this information on the tag:

Electronic Ballast
one by two
Voltage: 120VAC 60Hz
Current: 1800mA
Power: 2*65W
ë:0.60
µ:95%
Tc:60°C
Item NO: YZ2*65E
THD<0.25
0.4<TB<1.2

I looked up the item number but only found a chinese website that I couldn't understand. Can someone recommend an online source for a replacement ballast? The old one has dimensions of 8.5"x1.75"x1" and looks like a small white metal brick. It fits tightly inside the housing of the fixture, so it'll have to be pretty close to those dimensions.

Is this an odyssea fixture? Post a thread about replacing an odyssea 48" fixture and i bet you'll get an answer.

Do a search for Fulham Workhorse. A Workhorse 5, 6 or 7 will do the trick, they are pretty inexpensive and readily available all over.

I don't know if it's an Odyssea. There's no name on it. I looked on the Fulham website and found PC ballasts, but they jump in wattage from 55w to 96w. No 2x65w. Any ideas?

As long as the wattage is greater than and not less than the bulbs you are fine. PC is not specific like MH.

A WorkHorse 5 will fire 2 65 Watt PC's just fine. They will also fire 4 24 watt T5's.
Good ballast for little$$$.

Good! Thanks for the responses. The ballast happens to be the right dimensions too, so I'll get it. Thanks everyone!
