I got some pulled T8 fixtures with dead tubes, ballasts are good.
I took 2 new T8 tubes and stuck them in the fixture and they lit up with about 25 watts each. They look pretty dull, guess I'm just used to T5 HO.
I may just pull the ballasts out and use them to repower a dead T5 fixture, since these industrial T8 ballasts work great with T5 HO tubes.
