I went for super stud.
I have a fluorescent light fixture in my kitchen that quit working. First I replaced both F40T12 tubes with no effect. Then I put in a new electronic ballast (Philips Advance ICN2S40N) and now the fixture works great - except the ballast gets really loving hot. Is that normal? After 30 minutes of operation the ballast is too hot to touch for more than a second.
I've been trying to convince myself this is normal but I want to follow that "Don't burn you house down" mantra.
