SRC Member orgasbt Posted December 15, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 15, 2004 Most major brands will have dimmable e-ballast. Prices ranges from $70+ to $90+. Depending on brands,wattage for single for dual tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member BFG Posted December 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 There's another way. You have to use multiple timer loh. On a certain bulb 1st and then the other bulb would start a few minute later. Get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member woonming Posted December 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 Let me go check up more. i saw this lighting shop at gelang they were selling this china made eballast dimmebale adapter (hope i got the spelling right) but the only issues is the price is $8.00 .. So maybe someone would like to test it out to see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ervine Posted December 16, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 oh an adapter to make an e-ballast dimmable? and only $8? That's a lot cheaper than a dimmable e-ballast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
