    Hello,

    I'm currently using 2 sets of 36*2 PL light from NA. As the lights are about a year old, they are starting to lose the intensity.

    I would like to change my e-ballast from a 36W one to a 55W. Is this possible and where can I do it?

    Not confident of DIY'ing myself.

    Thanks

    can your light set take 55w pl tubes? they are longer than 36w pl.
    changing to 55w e-ballast does not improve tube life.
    you can run 36w tube using 55w e-ballast.

    You are thinking of changing to 2x55W? Do check with NA to see if there's space for expansion.
    If you are changing to single 55W, it would be lower than your previous 72W, right?
    Anyway, 36W PL tubes are cheap to replace. Why not just do that?
