I found this ballast along with a frame in an 80w lantern head (broken) and want to use it. But the label on this ballast is disintegrating. Can anyone show a picture of the label from a similar ballast? I need it for future reference when replacing the old, damaged ignitor and capacitor.


From what I can read- philips 80w MV ballast (HPL-N)

What ignitor do you mean? This is a MV choke! Ballast label is still pretty much intelligible IMHO - this is a just a simple choke with 3 taps intended for 200-220-240V operation and an optional PFC capacitor across the line. That's it.

 

Oh sorry! There was an empty plastic can inside the fixture, so I thought there was an ignitor. I think the fixture was retrofitted later on, and this assembly was thrown inside (the fixture was huge, you could store 5 ballasts and lamps inside). The 'ignitor' must have come from the HPS retrofit.
