Hmm. Seeing how it was designed for 34W tubes, have you tested how it performs with F32T8s?

I have some great news: It looks like that vintage shoplight will be in my captivity pretty soon (and I mean like less than a few weeks possibly). I'm excited already!

F32T8 is 230-260 mA and that's about half the current of the F34T12 lamps, so it might be flickery and overheat the ballast, also most .73A and lower ballasts will run a pair of F30T12s at the proper power since they are 460mA lamps (i think)

I almost had an experience with the title of this thread earlier this evening...replacing florescent sockets is always "fun". I got a socket from a cheesy shoplight so I guess I had a cheap shoplight moment...but it went into my best fixture...see below...
I got that vintage shoplight today and had to replace the socket I broke removing the reflector to see what it had for a ballast. Works fine now, though! I still need to clean all the old sawdust off (was used in a woodshop) but it works flawlessly...no buzz or anything.
