Will a bad ballast effect only one lamp in a two lamp fluorescent?
Typically, a bad ballast will affect both lamps in a two-lamp fluorescent fixture. However, it is possible for only one lamp to be affected if the ballast failure is isolated to one side of the ballast that powers a single lamp.
What is an emergency ballast?
An emergency ballast is a lighting ballast that has an internal battery. This battery will store enough energy to power the light for a short amount of time. Typically this battery is not designed to last through long power outages. Rather, it is normally used in conjunction with a backup generator. In the event of a power loss, the ballast immediately carries the load of the light, until the generator comes online. Some manufacturer's do not combine the ballast and the battery in the same metal can; they use 2 separate cans. The battery part in many instances does not light all the lamps of the fixture and it may only light the lamps about half brightness. The purpose is only to assist in evacuating the building
If a fluorescent light blinks is the light bulb bad or the ballast?
I have seen it both ways. Usually it is the bulb which is a few bucks. The ballast will cost more and could cost $15-$30 bucks depending on type. If you have another bulb that is working, swap it with the flicker light and see if the problem goes away. If the swapped bulb works, I always put the bad bulb in the fixture where the good bulb came from. If the bad bulb now works, you could have a seating problem with the bulb. If it flickers, replace it.
How repair ballast?
Ballast meaning neon ballast You are dealing with lethal voltages and should never try to repair As ballast It is practically a non repairable item . Usually it is totally burn up and repairing if possible is not cost effectiveNext AnswerA ballast is not a repairable item. Taking one apart, unwinding the coil to find a break and repairing it is not practical. Especially if you had to clean out the tar like sunstance inside it to get at the parts. In a fluorescent tube fixture, the ballast is easily replaceable by a knowledgeable person. The replacement part is not expensive and an old wire coil ballast can be replaced with a more efficient electronic one.A small neon bulb ballast is just a small resister capable of handling the wattage going through it. It is easily replaceable but the bulb is so cheap the it isn't worth the labor. You can just get a replacement bulb.
How do you replace ac ballast where emergency ballast present?
First you need to determine if it's the ballast that's bad or the emergency ballast. The emergency ballast can go bad and cause the bulbs not to work or not all of them to work depending on the lights wiring setup. Push the test button on the emergency ballast which should have a red glowing indicator light. If all the lights illuminate slightly, change the emergency ballast. It's best to buy the exact ballast for this repair. i.e. If it's a T8 3 lamp fixture. Buy a T8 3 lamp ballast not a 4. You can use a 4 in place of a 3 lamp, but the 3 lamp will be more user friendly. Easiest way is to note what wires go to what. Draw a diagram if you have to and just simply match them back up.

How can I determine if a fluorescent bulb or ballast is bad?
To determine if a fluorescent bulb or ballast is bad, you can start by checking if the bulb is flickering, dim, or not turning on. If the bulb looks blackened or has dark spots, it may be faulty. You can also test the ballast with a multimeter to see if it is providing the correct voltage. If these steps don't solve the issue, it's best to consult a professional for further assistance.
How do you test a ballast for fluorescent fixture?
Turn off the power, remove the bulbs, and remove the cover to expose the ballast. If you see tar leaking from the ballast it is bad and must be replaced. If you see no tar then proceed. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. The yellow and blue wires are the power wires and the white wire is neutral. With the meter set to ohms check between the yellow wire and white wire at the end where it connects to the light. If you get no reading the ballast is bad. Now check the other side where power is coming in. No reading and the ballast is bad. If you get a reading at both ends it is good. Check for loose wires.

To test the headlight ignitor and ballast on a 2002 Acura TL, first disconnect the battery, then remove the headlight assembly and access the ignitor and ballast. Use a multimeter to check for continuity in the ignitor and ensure the ballast is receiving proper voltage. If either component is faulty, replace it. To install, reconnect the new ignitor and ballast, secure them in place, reassemble the headlight assembly, and finally reconnect the battery to test the headlights.
Why is your Dodge Grand Caravan not firing?
Bad coil? Bad rotor? Bad distributor cap? Bad Ballast resistor?
Will bad ballast resistor on a 1978 D100 make engine die?
Yes it can. If there is a bad wire in your harness the ballast resistor will get hot, in which causes your coil to overheat and cut out or burn outline.
