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.
This is very interesting! I personally despise modern electronic florescent ballasts and now the switch mode modulated LED lighting fixtures anywhere near my basement workshop. The broadband hash they generate raises Cain with AM radio and TV reception. Who knows what affects they're having on our personal health.

Please post pictures and a full report when you receive them.
