These new ballasts are PCB-free, assured to be good and they're pretty much doing a custom run to make them, so I get bragging rights on doing something insane.
The chances are almost 100% that this manufacturer, and almost every other manufacturer in China subscribes to Dr. P's philosophy "Lie, lie and lie some more".

If blindly handing one's resources over to China is considered insane, then most of Western society is.
