Home Depot in Northern California has started carrying "electronic"
ballasts made by GE. The package says they are electronic but they
weigh the same as a regular ballast. The salesmen there of course are
completely clueless. "What frequency does this operate at?" "60 Hz".

I'm still waiting for the Taiwanese to flood the market with $10
electronic ballasts anyway.
