Repair - UV insect trap (UPDATED)

Funny story of a trivial repair attempt over an electronic ballast used to drive a fluorescent UV bulb for an insect trap.

DISCLAIMER !!!
This stuff is connected DIRECTLY to the power grid and the fluorescent bulb emits dangerous UV !!
Working on these type of circuit REQUIRES knowledge and precautions !
DON'T ATTEMPT ANY REPAIR UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING !
