Do you still have parts to make a mini shop light? That would be cool to have a rapid start one to go with the preheat one.

Wow, Dave, great find! Those are cool...I never knew this type of ballast was made either.

We do, in England anyway. Tran*Star used to make twin and single-lamp "switchless start" ballasts for most wattages including the T5 13w 21", and quite likely for 8W 12", 6W 9" as well, possibly also for 4W 6". I have several twin 40w (T12, 4ft) ballasts and the one I have in my kitchen uses a single 65W (T12, 5ft) ballast. The twin lamp ballasts start almost instantly, the single ones shimmer during startup. I'll post a video reply for each type in due course.
