Default WTB - Edm - Workhorse 5 Ballast

We have an older PC fixture that takes 2 x 65w PCs. The ballast appears to be blown. Husband says we need a Workhorse 5 ballast to replace the blown out one. Is this size of ballast what we actually need, and if so, does anyone have one in their bag of goodies that we can buy from you?

TIA

Kevin,

Hey thanks for the offer

Chris hasn't taken the light strip apart yet, but he thinks he sees a Workhorse 5 through the air vent slats. I'm not sure that's what he'll need to fix it. Do you think a Workhorse 5 would fire 2 x 65w PCs?

TIA

I once replaced the ballast in a 2X55W fixture with a Workhorse 5. The same ballast will fire a 2X65Wsetup. So there will be no problem. Just make sure there are no parts left over when completing the repair
