High-end 80 W T5 fixture & ballast teardown - Annell A262 fixture & Tridonic.Atco ballast

This video is a relatively ignorant teardown of one of my new workshop fixtures and its ballast, just to see what it looks like on the inside. I don't know enough about lighting systems to make much of a statement about it beyond what's obvious (such as the build quality). 

The fixture is in the 200 € class intended for office spaces, and the ballast itself retails for about 50 €; so we're for once looking at something a bit more standards-compliant than the usual Chinese crap. Needless to say, I did NOT pay full price for it, else I'd be starving in the street right now.
