A look at what I believe to be Advance Transformer's first electronic fluorescent lamp ballast, introduced in 1989, two years before Motorola introduced their own electronic ballasts, which we looked at in a previous video.

Ballast is demonstrated with 40 and 34 watt F40T12 lamps, as well as F32T8 lamps. Preheat design and lamp power are analyzed.
