PFO lighting problem 400W

[LifeIsFish]

lately i found out that PFO lighting company went out of business. the way i found about iit is beause 1 of my ballasts went out of work too....

i checked the ballast and i saw that the capacitor is gone and i need to replace it. so what i did is i contact the manufactor of those capacitors and they have a minimum order of $250.

so far i couldnt find where to buy this capacitor (that should cost no more then $20).

the help that i need is this:
1. if someone know where to buy those capacitors
2. if someone have 1 extra capacitor for sale
3. if i will be able to group some people that need those capacitors so i can make 1 order and each one will get his capacitor.
4. who ever own a PFO MH light - and want to have 1 capacitor exptra just in case.... feel free to contact me so i can build a group purchase directly from the manufactor.

so who even can help me solve/fix my lighting - i will be more than happy.

thanks a lot.

this is the image of the capacitor that i need to my lighting.

try here, they have a live chat helpline and lots of books they can look in. if you find therm you might wanna order a few for spares or to sell later down the road.

You can try an industrial liquidator type place as well. There are several here in town (San Diego) and they tend to have all kinds of stuff like that.

There is a local light shop here in town that helped me with a similar capacitor. I know you aren't local, but you might try a local (non-chain) shop in your area.

Or I can put in touch with the place here. They were helpful.
