GFI Faults and interior light replacemts

[Curt Sprenger]

I agree with stephen, no hot ballasts. Stephen's ballasts are much better quality than the older ballasts. I replaced all our ballasts with those from Stephen...all continue to work after three plus years...and NOT HOT. I don't not recall why, but I did use screws to anchor them...probable me as I only do things in OVER KILL MODE.
