Indirect Fluorescent Lighting...

[orbitalsolutions]

Thanks, Jim and Stephen.

I have sent two fixtures to Thin-Lite in California to be rebuilt
for S23.50, seems like a great price. I will order a new unit from
RGM to carry as a spare and compare the two. I would be glad to
compare them on this forum when I get them.

Thanks again, this is a fantastic board because of experienced and
helpful folks like yourself.
