howdy folks, i've been eyeing the Qianshun/Glow Object offerings as a backup plan for my SOX lamps, to keep on hand should my existing Advance ballasts fail, and just out of curiosity to compare them to more traditional SOX equipment. i haven't been able to track down any of the Philips-brand Electronic SOX ballasts and these are the only other electronic offering i could find.

i looked at all the listings and pictures, and all the ballasts say 220-240V operation, so if i do end up getting one i'll need to track down a step-up transformer. no big deal, Digi-Key and Mouser have reputable hard-wire ones that won't break the bank.

all that being said, anyone have any experience running these ballasts on any of their SOX lamps? what do you think and how do they hold up to a regular old magnetic ballast? any input is appreciated and thanks in advance for sharing!
