And some do. Even some older school fluorescent drive circuits can dissipate power when the tube is dead. A few days ago I disconnected a fluro fitting with "iron ballast" where the fitting around the ballast area was discernibly above ambient temperature but the bulb had long ago ceased trying to light up the world. I do not know circuit details in that case. | |
