Electrical question - T8 'power supply'.

[kilnakorr]

Hi

Not sure what this thing is called in US.
My UVC unit has stopped working, and it is not the tube but unit itself, so figured I need to replace this part:

It not easy to find here, unless I order it internationally.
I do have this one for T8 36w also:

However, I am unsure if it will work or blow up the house.

Anyone who can tell me if this could work or a big no no.?

Lighting ballast. Look for the part number for an exact fit

BE 218-4-UN | ELT 14 W, 18 W Electronic Fluorescent Lighting Ballast, 110V, 260 V | RS

no.rs-online.com

(Sorry for the Norway link, RS does sell all over the EU)

Thanks. But this company doesn't sell to end customers only b2b.
Its also 75$, and already have this other one on hand.
Guess I can just try it and see what happens....

The ballasts are matched in power, so should work fine.

I wasn't aware RS limited sales - not a thing thats common here for any electronics supplier.
