it looks like an electronic ballast will save electricity.

I agree na mas matipid.

Pero mas safe,- base on my limited experience, I think mas safe ang bumbilya (incandescent lamp) vs. a CFL or a fluorescent lamp with a ballast, whether electronic or magnetic.

Iyon kasing bumbilya,- pag napundi,- open circuit lang... While iyong fluorescent lamp,- may mga active components (na nasa ballast) na may power pa rin....
