I just picked up the same set from them... Where did you mount the ballasts?

I have the same ?, I'm getting ready to set up a retro set and was wondering where to put the ballasts as well.

Any chance you can get a close up of the reflector showing the shape and lamp clip?

Looks pretty nice.

I'll try and get you a pic of that today....

Are you running the TRU brand bulbs. Thinking of getting one of these units myself.

Yes.....Great bulbs.....Great Color.....People are saying that these bulbs last a long time.

I mounted the ballast on the back of the dresser about half way down. I did this by nailing two small nails in to the dresser and hanging the ballasts on the nails. The ballast had a few small holes at the top and that's what i hung it by. They don't get hot enough to cause a problem. It seem to work fine.....

You know of anyone who has ran them a long time? I honestly don't remember hearing about them until a couple months ago. I was thinking they were a new brand.
