CGE Bronze label trigger start ballast for 1XF15T8 or 1XF20T12
I removed this ballast from my F20 striplight because of overheating problems when operated for too long. This ballast still works fine and is probably gonna be used to kill burnt out fluorescents near EOL (with proper ventilation).

For those who aren't used to the CGE labeling (especially American members who rather had Bonusline ballasts in the 70s and 80s), CGE ballasts were made in 3 categories, from Bronze to Gold label. Bronze label ballasts were NPF. Silver and Gold label ballasts were HPF.

I've recently found a LPF CGE Ballast that doesn't use the gold-silver-bronze grading.

Oddly it was made in Mexico and uses a American style date code instead of the CGE date code but it's still branded as a CGE ballast and has a similar label to this.
