Does this fixture have an Advance Ballast? « on: September 29, 2018, 11:22:51 PM » Author: Keyless
Does this NEMA fixture have an Advance ballast? If not is the ballast any good? Does it actually power the bulb to 175 watts or does it under drive them like the regents?

AEL winds there own ballast.  they do put out full power
but ballast is quite junky cause if been wround in aluminium wire.  expect them to last  5 to 10 years
of service.
