Fun & games with the kitchen light. Electrician was right - extremely fiddly.
1st removal discovered a loose switched live wire (push fit into a connector block). Remade the connection reassembled the light fitting & it worked:bannana:. Once.
Took it apart again and wire disconnected itself again. Remade the joint, reassembled the light fitting & it worked:bannana:. Once.
Took it apart again, took a photo of the electronic ballast, replaced the connector block. Reassembled the light fitting & it worked:bannana:. Once.
So I need to order a new electronic ballast of the right type and the right physical dimensions.
Google is usually my friend but this time I find that the only result for an exact match is available from China if I order 100+ units.
Any thoughts on how to find an alternative?
