I jumped in the dumpster after work to look at this roll of carpet they threw away when remodeling a office. Well decided that it was not worth the trouble, on my way out something caught my eye.
it was a brand new in box t8 4 lamp ballast, I thought well thats nice worth my trip in to the dump. Then was no it couldn't be but it was 4 more of them, I found 5 ballast still in the shrink wrap. 4 of them look in 100% the other one looks like it has some water in it, but I will simply let it site for a few months and that should take care of that.

I thought it was a knock off until I found out it was a Philips.
Now I just have to figure out if I can over drive t8's, I am thinking I might be able to make something decent, I know its not a nice as t5 but better then nothing.
Mod's sorry I posted without think this should have likely been in setup, or something.
