I bought a Fulham Racehorse RHA-UNV-254-LT5 electronic ballast for a
light box that uses two FT36W/2G11 lamps (Also know by the Philips name "PL-L")
The picture in the listing states that in can run those type of lamps, however the one I received only says FT50 or FT55. I wired it up anyway and it is working fine and the input current (Measured by a P3 Kill-a-Watt) is right on target with the spec sheet for the revision of the specs that used to list the FT36 (A PDF file that I saved a while ago)
I searched the model number on the
Fulham website and even it only lists FT50 and FT55
I am confused as to why the FT36 was removed? It seems to doing fine (Temperature wise and input current as per the old spec sheet) and the lamps seem happy and don't look over-driven so is this a reason to be worried or is this fine?
PS: I only replaced the ballast as I absolutely hate instant start fluorescent lamps and I was told Fulham is a good brand
I attached a picture of the ballast label from the eBay listing and the old spec sheet
Thanks
