Trying to source 2x14 ballast

kkelly77 · 30-03-2012 4:11pm #1

I'm trying to source a replacement 2x14 electronic ballast similar to the one in the photo attached (think it was fitted about 7 yrs ago).

Any that I have found are the wrong physical size(mostly variable ballasts). These 2x14's seem to be as rare as hens teeth.

The original one in the photo is 230mm long. I ordered a replacement but it's far too long, 358mm.

Does anyone know where I can source a 2x14 of equal physical size to the old one? Thanks.

might sound like a silly question, but did ye ring galaxy, there based down in santry. think they are trade only but they could point ye in the direction of a wholsaler that they deal with that could supply you.
id have tridonic 2x14 in stock but might be a little longer then the galaxy one.

ask this shop http://www.goldenpages.ie/phibsboro-electrical-wholesale-dublin-city-D7/

or you can use one of old transformer balast, you need only put socket for starters

I didn't realise Galaxy were in Dublin. I'll try them.

I got a tridonic replacement but it's too long, 358mm. Galaxy is 230mm.

You could always change over to LED and you wouldn't need the ballast.

ballast is a 2x14 so its probably a t5 lamp.
never seen a switch start ballast for t5, by the time you buy all the bits and rewire it it wouldnt be cost effective.
