LF 250W Ballast or help

[naprestsleep]

My coralvue ballast failed to fire today. Checked the bulb ok and checked output voltage of ballast and its zero. Looking for help if there is anything fixable inside the ballast or looking for a ballast, 250w electronic(firing a reeflux 20k bulb). Got some basic coral and equipment to trade or cash.

Thanks -- Joe

Unfortunately, electronic ballasts are usually potted (in epoxy) and when they go, the whole unit needs replacing.

If you end up having to purchase a new ballast, I have recently picked up a pair of these:

Good luck.

Thanks for the info/link. I got some leads on a used unit locally but I may buy a new replacement unit to make it easier as I am busy this time of year and looking to a plug in and go solution if possible.
