I had my ballast go after 1 years and half Calvin on the 4X2" version, did you buy it from Bustan?
I replaced the ballast. Pro Lighting, Commercial Lighting, Lutron Dimmers | ProLighting.com will ship to Canada for about 15$.

Damn wish I had seen this earlier - I bought one already from somewhere else and I'm getting it shipped to a depot across the border. Ah well

I didn't get mine from Bustan although I discovered that they do have replacement sockets for sale which is awesome because US shipping is outrageous and annoying. I contacted sunlight supply and they say that they've had units fail within warranty, as well as lamps that have been good since manufacturing. Sounds a little sketchy, but they've been good about responding to my e-mails.

Did you replace the ballast yourself or did you take it to an electrician?

RHman - thanks for that info - feel free to post whenever you find out.

Becca - yeah warranty has long expired (got them over 2 years ago)

Did you use wirenuts or did you solder the wires together?
