I have two Coralife EZ Ballasts over my 55g plant tank (each holds two 48" T8).
Had them for less than 4 years.

One of them crapped out the other day. I contacted Coralife and described the problem, their reply was simply "from the problem you've described it sounds like you need to replace the ballast".

Indeed I will, with a brand OTHER THAN CORALIFE! Ballasts that cost $50 should last for decades, not less than 4 years! Garbagey imports.

HMPH!
 
I'm in the construction industry and have seen the new electronic ballast go in a year while others from the same installation last much longer. It just seems to be one of those mass produced low quality items.
