[DIY] fluorescent ballast

 

Every time I replace ballast in the kitchen ceiling it works for awhile and then after a couple of years it is slow to light when the humidity gets high. Its a two bulb four foot fixture. I have been using ballasts from Lowes which seem to be good ballasts. Any recommendations? I will probably switch over to T-8 style as that seems to be the wave of the future.

My fixture is on knob and tube circuit with out a ground. I just put the ground wire on the neutral side as I have had problems just leaving it disconnected. Could the wall switch be affected by humidity? Its just a basic single pole switch.
