Is the transformer visibly burned?

Modern transformers often include one-time thermal fuse inside which may be blown for whatever reason. Transformer itself may be blown as well or not. If no other means to find out proper output voltage left, you can try to find this thermal fuse device, typically a small rectangle or cylinder, short it and power up the transformer briefly. Use some means of current limiting like a large lightbulb in series or a circuit breaker to limit possible fireworks ;)

I highly recommend checking Facebook Marketplace. I recall seeing a few F96T12 fixtures showing up from time to time there.

I have recently acquired a 1987 Sure Lites LM-1 emergency light that is in wonderful condition except it doesn't work! Through testing I have determined the problem to be an open primary in the mains transformer, does anybody have a functional example they could measure the output voltage of, or any information that would help source a compatible replacement? The transformer has a center tap on the secondary, and each side of it measures about 15 ohms. I don't mind if it isn't physically the same as long as the output configuration is compatible with the existing charger circuit of the light.
Thank you for any info you may have!!

I've been looking into reproducing the Goldeye I using a long form WH3 ballast. But I don't like the optics, so I've been buying FULL cutoff wall lights to convert. Got a few, but I believe a smaller one like this one should work best. That's also available on ebay but I'd like to offer the Goldeye II to someone here.

If you got one or similar FCO pack I can trade straight this mint one listed here. The high price is there so it doesn't sell quickly but if someone is willing to pay nearly $500 USD, more power to them. Shipping will be a wash, but the FCO pack must be near new with original gear.

There's a goodwill near me that has almost no LEDs, except for a strip in the jewelry box.
There's also a Khol's near me that is mostly fluorescent, but they do have a few LEDs here and there as spotlights.

I remember seeing these in Carlsbad around 2011, kinda weird to see at night.
