GE's at it AGAIN !! « on: June 20, 2021, 01:53:40 AM » Author: wide-lite 1000
I just went to look up a GE date code on one of GE's web pages I have book marked . WELL , It's no longer there and has been replaced by a GE Currant Document library which seems to be nothing but LED !!! The original page I HAD  was the "GE fluorescent ballast PCB & date code one which showed date codes from the mid 60's to the late 80's along with the cut off line in the codes for weather the capacitors had PCBs or not .  Does anyone have a copy of this list or know where to find the original somewhere ?  This was VERY handy for determining the date for GE HID light fixtures and ballasts . I hate when companies do this !!!

I had the same thing happen when I was trying to look up the models of the HID luminaires they used to make!

@ joseph_125 & High Intensity :  That would be the one I was looking for !! THANK YOU !! @ Ria : I agree !! It just pisses me off that modern companies refuse to save ANY info on older equipment. This wasn't a problem in the past . It's not just lighting , it's EVERYTHING !! I used to be able to go to the dealer and have them look up parts for my old cars and even though the part usually had long ago became obsolete , they could still give me a part # and the contact info of at least one company who might be able to find the part . By having the part # I could at least look through places like swap meets or eBay , ETC. With the newer stuff , all I get now is "not available anymore , SORRY !"  THE WONDERFUL THROW AWAY SOCIETY WE LIVE IN !!!!
