My circular bathroom ceilling lamp takes GR10q flat fluorescent tubes. They fit into a 4 pin ballast that conditions the electrical supply.
The last time I replaced a tube, the new one did not work. Multimeter suggests that the tube is good but the ballast is no good. I cannot find a replacement ballast.
Everyone recommends switching to LED but throwing out the nice looking old light fitting and buying an expensive new one.
Can I convert a light fitting from fluoresent, requiring a unicorn ballast, to some kind of LED system that can be wired directly to the mains, just like a normal light fitting.
