This is my thorn piazza II. Sadly, it doesn’t work, and I bought it off eBay for £12 and £4.50 postage. It used to be £11 and £2 postage, and I did buy it before he changed the price, but he cancelled the order, so I had to buy it for more. He also changed the postal company from yodal to evri, that is probably why it was more expensive. He also said that he had to cancel it as it was more expensive to post it as he thought. Once it arrived, I cleaned it, and then turned it on, and it didn’t work. It has a Tridonic electronic ballast and a osram T/E fluorescent lamp.

The osram T/E lamp

I had a look inside the ballast, and I found that the circuit board had burnt out, and the casing was burnt on the inside.
