You don't need the address, just have the pilot toss you over Victoria and I'll watch for you. :razz:

Speaking as an Electrician, it would be as good, or better to try another bulb on the suspected ballast. If neither bulb works, I would suspect the ballast. At least that is the way we used to test them. If another known to be good fluorescent tube did not work, we tossed out the ballsat.

Hey Sean

If you want to drive to the North, I live up in Covertry Hills. You can try your bulb in my ballast.
