A bad ballast often emits a burnt or acrid smell, reminiscent of overheating electrical components. This odor can indicate that the ballast is failing or has short-circuited, potentially releasing a chemical scent if the insulation or wiring is damaged. If you notice this smell, it's advisable to turn off the power and inspect or replace the ballast to prevent further issues.
