I guess I should back-up a bit.
The original problem is a faulted fixture on a 3-pole CB, which is causing the whole area to lose light.
I'd like to do this as simply and inexpensively as possible.
I'm wondering about retro-fitting fuse holders at each ballast.

BTW, the set-up consists of a 10 rectangular remote ballast enclosures, each of which houses ballasts for 2 fixtures. I've heard that there used to be dual-lamp M-V ballasts, but I don't know if these housings contain those, or 2 separate remote ballasts.
The problem is that I can't access the existing equipment without a lift and I don't want to rent a lift until I'm ready to solve the problem.
Energy savings aside, the only reason I thought about fixture replacement is that I don't know if I can retro-fit fuse holders. I'm having a hard time finding aftermarket fuse holders. But, if I can install them, that's what I'll do.

Redsy, check out www.bussmann.com Look at panel mounted HPF fuse holders, or their HEG & HEY series of in line fuse holders. Both types take CC rated fuses 1/4 - 30 amp 600 volt ratings. You might be able to fit these fuse holders in the remote ballast enclosure.

Aye, aye captain!

Sorry, my kids have me watching "SpongeBob".

Anyway Al, Thanks for the link. I was on their website and couldn't find inline fuseholders.
A great help!
