I just installed six high end fixtures in my home office. The fixtures were actually made in USA and very good quality and heavy sheet metal. The overall lighting was excellent.
The ballasts were Sylvania step dimming for F54 T5-HO lamps. One ballast will go only 50% but not 100%. Made in China, naturally. That's 1 out of 6.
Had another project where the contractor had quite a few ballast failures, don't remember the numbers but they were also the same lamps.
What has been your experience with ballast failures at installation?
