<HTML>Besides being piano tuners, I know many of you have knowledge and abilities beyond that scope. So I am hoping some of you have a little knowledge about electrical components in florescent lights. In my kitchen is a four tube florescent fixture. Two of them went out, so I bought 4 new ones. The same two are still out. So I suspect one of the two the ballasts are blown. I shut off the electricity, and removed the panels, and touched both of them. One is very hot, the other just warm. Now the question. If a ballast is bad, would it just be warm, or be very hot to the touch? Thanks for the advice. Wim</HTML>
