Just been called to a small companies office today where a fluorescent fitting was described as having gone pop and then started smoking.
The choke was burnt out and I disconnected the fitting, so the rest of the lights could go back on. This was the second fitting of a bank of four, about 5 years old so only 2 now work. The guy who did the install was called back to the first about 6 months ago and disconnected it and never came back to repair it.
The fittings are Thorn Louvrelux 2, the ballasts are Tridonic Atco EC58 A509K and are replacable. I can either replce fittings or the ballast whichever is cheaper. Does anyone know the best place to get these from?
Has anyone had any problems with these fittings before? The company director is wondering if there was ever a recall with this product or if it is a common fault.
