More of them!
Last week I noticed people among scrap metal looking for stuff at the recycling centre, I assumed they moved scrap metal in a place people could look for stuff. As soon as I started looking I found three 4-lamp troffers! I can't save fluorescent fixtures anymore but I can still save ballasts for future use.

Those will light a part of my future new workshop when I have my own home!

Until only a few years ago, I never had a clue that Philips owned Advance. Very nice haul. I love those Canadian labeled ballasts!

One day if you want some I can grab a few for you! Right now I'm kinda busy so I don't have much time to send stuff and all, but I probably have over 20 of these already, and where I get them there always are new fixtures with those every month LOL.

Cool, I have a few Philips fluorescent ballasts including some which are the Philips version of the E-Pak 34 ballasts. I also have a 70w Philips HPS ballast which looks exactly like the Advance ones.
