I have CSL pendent with 3 -28watt ballast two have went out. I talk to AHSUPPLY but they said they couldn't match the wireing needed to support the water proof sockets. Can any body tell me where to get these at a good price please thanks.

try LOA pc's

[alf3482]

LOA light dosn't run off a ballast. That is if your talking about those from like home depot.

[SKRIZ]

Oh, but they do. The part that the bulb attaches to is the ballast. It is just small. Power compacts cannot be run without a ballast. So, if you are using 28w pc's, then all you have to do is look for the 28w version of LOA pc's and hook the bulbs up to that fixture. You can extend the wires from the fixture to make them remote ballasts. But, they are in fact ballasts.

[alf3482]

Ok i guess i stand corrected. I will have to look into that thanks.

[alf3482]

Now tell me how i can hook that up to a water proof socket.

[SKRIZ]

the base on the bulb, is it a csl base? four pins aligned as in dice?
if so, it will be really easy b/c the loa base is the same. so, you just disconnect the bulb from the loa fixture and hook up you bulb. I think i may have a link that shows this process step by step with photos. i will check when i get home and post it if you like.

[alf3482]

NOrmal four pins in a square. Yes it is a csl pendent with water proof sockets.

[SKRIZ]

you wouldn't happen to have any pics would you?

[alf3482]

Yea i have some pic's. I don't have any with me i'll post them when i get home tonight. It shows the lay out and wireing and ballast.

[SKRIZ]

i ofund the plans to do this. i Can email them to you if you want. if you can post the pics, i can make sure i send you adequate plans.

[alf3482]

Yea i had to work late yesterday i'll try again tonight if i get to go home at a decent hour.
