I purchased the lamp to find out it is the ballast. Any suggestions?

This is a photograph of the light bulb. It worked in my fan. The ballast is a different issue. Sam L.

Don't recommend digital ballast for this lamp as it gets extremely hot that's my opinion good luck

Sorry Robert, I don't know about a ballast. Purchased the extra bulb from Amazon, have not encountered the ballast issue. Good luck.

Steve, I really don't know. Always a pain to identify the right one. Seems like every Fluorescent fixture in the house uses a different ballast.

Yes I did, and they sent me a new ballast but still didn't work. Even sent me a new kit with no luck. Great customer service, but inferior products lately.

Clip the wires close to the ballast. Wire one end of fixture positive, one end negative. There are lots of youtube videos that help explain it.

Every so often you will have to replace the ballast unit on a Toshiba (I had to do it twice). It's a pretty straightforward repair that does not involve the light engine. It's a high voltage supply unit that powers the lamp. When it fails, it seem like the lamp fails and gives you the same front panel indications. On the second ballast failure I also had a small fuse fail that was on the opposite side of the TV near the wire entrance but deep inside where you can barely see it let alone pop it out. I did it, however, and you should be able to as well with a little help from youtube.

The bulb itself is dimmable, you just need to make sure that the ballast you're using is dimmable as well.

it's probably the ballast sounds like you have done everything else..... good luck

I would have to agree with DB ,the current ballast would not start the 250 watt ed28

ballast is bypassed, would not work. I'd suggest labels for hot and neutral too.

Hamhock is correct; not to be found in your average retail store at all. Also, if possible before ordering- make sure it is the bulb you need and not the ballast! I bought two bulbs only to find out later it was the ballast which had failed, argh!

I believe the reason for the ballast is to control the voltage to eliminate flickering. Plus I think it's a transformer for the fan and eliminates engine codes.

I ask my husband. He said there is no electronic ballast. He would know since he is and electrician.

the reason for the ballast is to convert DC into AC. So if you're replacing one, as long as it's for a 35w hid bulb, it'll work perfectly.

It's just 1 ballast. I'd recommend looking at www.theretrofitsource.com their ballasts are a bit more expensive but are much better quality
