ok whats a good shop light? I've gone through 4 of the cheapies 10-12 bucks each, lowes and home depot...the lowes lasted about 2 years, 1 went bad already, the home depots i didn't even get 12 months out of them and 1 went bad last week. Its not bulbs..i tested. From googling i guess the ballasts are too cheap in these things..
How can i tell if it has a good ballast? From googling the I read on groups cheap ballast go through bulbs prematurely and leave black bands on the ends which you can tell its a cheap ballast.
thanks for suggestions!
