When I moved into my present apartment, the fluorescent lights emitted a loud buzzing noise. Upon examination, the noise seemed to be coming from something marked "Ballast Box: Class P". I replaced it and the noise stopped. Can somebody tell me what a Ballast Box is and how it works? I opened the old one and found some kind of black paste surrounding the wires.
