HD has Advance F54T5HO on clearance for $10/ea « on: November 05, 2021, 01:17:41 PM » Author: 589
Not sure about nationally, but both local HDs near me had these on clearance and I got the last two for use with F40T12s later.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Centium-49-54-Watt-120-277-Volt-1-or-2-Lamp-T5HO-Programmed-Start-Electronic-Fluorescent-Replacement-Ballast-502211/202977281

I also found an interesting easter egg in the description that was certainly an error, still is fun though.

Well it's still 37 bones online in the show me state, so no sale here. :-\ If i needed it and it was on sale then i would grab it, but otherwise it says on the shelf for me.

One question i want to ask is why did you reballast the F40T12 light with these, the one i have works pretty well. :wndr:

@Bulbman256:
Its just another option if you want an electronic ballast that'll drive F40's at around full power.

I wonder if T12s last longer when switched frequently on one of those compared to a standard electronic T12 ballast. I know some T12 electronic ballasts don't really rapid start the lamps and instant start them like T8s instead.

@joseph_125:
I would think they should last longer with these than with one of those that basically instant-starts.
Some of the GE T12 elecrtonic RS ballasts do actually start in a real rapid-start fashion.  I think those too should do decent for lamp life...
