Shocked Never seen a Canadian made or a electronic ballast with vents before. The switchable HI-LO setting is pretty interesting too.

Yes,it's a pretty interesting ballast,I'm glad I came across it. Cool

Interesting! How is the LOW setting? And what happens with a near EOL lamp?

Interesting..
Does it startup lake a magnetic rapid-start?
lite_lover   [Oct 09, 2012 at 06:25 AM]
I'm not sure,I haven't tried it out yet.

This ballast is otherwise nothing but a resonance start ballast similar to a CFL ballast, but with high powe factor and probably also an EOL protection.
