I bet this is gonna be very dim.

It would have made a bit more sense to take out the old ballast. Rolling Eyes A lot of contractors are greedy and cheep. Confused Rolling Eyes
gailgrove   [Oct 01, 2011 at 01:09 AM]
Well if they where greedy they would of taken the ballast and scrap it, this is just lazy - they didn't even attach the new driver.

At least this was done to a crappy shoebox and not a classic cobrahead, though i'd rather this happen to a vintage streetlight intead of it getting scrapped, that is if it's done right. Neutral

At least the old ballast is still there though! It can always be converted back!
streetlight98   [Sep 07, 2014 at 12:58 AM]
did you see how short those leads are cut? Shocked
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Sep 07, 2014 at 01:01 AM]
Solder! Or crimps if it's stranded wire! Or something! It could be done...

How do you know which is which when they're not colored? it doesn't look like the words are visible. 150W HPS ballasts are common enough where a new one can just be stuck in though.

Unless you're cheap and greedy! Laughing Or just of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" variety which explains me... Laughing That's why I have partially-dead ballasts wired in bizarre ways...
streetlight98   [Sep 07, 2014 at 03:44 AM]
I practice the recycle part, by giving it to my grandpa to scrap. Razz
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Sep 07, 2014 at 03:47 AM]
Same idea!
rlshieldjr   [Sep 08, 2014 at 03:36 AM]
I save and recycle scrap ballasts and fixtures, along with bottles and cans that has a recycle deposit. The old HPS ballast was too difficult to remove, so the left it, time is money. Neutral
streetlight98   [Sep 08, 2014 at 10:25 AM]
yeah if the fixture ever gets removed it'll be scrapped anyways so it's no big deal. did you perform the retrofit or did you have to service this?
