Mine is a nice solid one made by Allen. Looks like this except it has a clamp rather than a heavy base.
I wonder if the choke has had it. I may have a suitably rated one in the junk box but I doubt it. It's an ordinary Tridonic EC22/30. There's a faint air of cooked coil hanging around but no discolouring. I could stick it on an inductance bridge but have no idea what to expect. Any other suggestions for teting it? I suppose I could do a ring test, like you would do on a LOPT.
If I needs replacing and there isn't one in the junkbox I'm going electronic to avoid the flicker. Or use LEDs as I suggested above. I wonder how much LED I would need to give the same or more light output. The obvious answer is about 10 to 15 watts of them
but that's not entirely helpful.
