The glass part is the thermal protection for the ballast. This device opens the circuit thus killing the power to the ballast in case the ballast overheats.
You don't want your fingers on the probe leads when measuring resistance (or any measurement really). Your body affects the reading of any circuit that has a high impedance/resistance.
She liked to get involved in my projects. Sadly, we lost her last year, but her successor also likes to get involved, and he shows up sporadically in my videos.
Glad you took it apart. I was going to but no need now... Thanks

Thanks for the info, that makes perfect sense.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!
Great, glad I could help!

Next time you want to take a ballast apart, stick with a desk lamp 2 wire magnetic ballast.😆😅🤣😂
As apart from The LED.s it look s abit like a potted led driver that some LED.s use
Where is the video that the ballast catches fire on?
Sorry but I don't remember.
Probably should have melted the tar off of it.
whats up w the cat
