Floor Lamp

Replacing a ballast in a florescent floor lamp?
I have a tall florescent floor lamp that doesn't work. Is is possible to replace the ballast in something so tall? I'm not having any luck finding anything at the local home improvement stores and no one seems to know anything.
Or is it too much of a hassle, or even possible, to dismantle the sections and re-run the wiring? Thanks in advance!
It is a florescent lamp... they burn much cooler and use a lot less energy than the standard halogen lamp.
As far as the ballast goes, I'm assuming that's what it is... It's not a rectangular ballast like I've seen in stores. It's a round unit in the top of the lamp bowl, wires and cord strung through the tubular body of the lamp. It's a torch-style lamp, about 6 feet tall.
You might try looking for the maker's name on the lamp and then check the internet. More and more companies have sites chock full of infomration regarding their products. Many even have exploded views of their products to assist in determining where a particular art is located. They will tell you whether you can order a particular part, etc.
I've turned to this method more and more, especially wood working tools and home appliances. You can even download some instruction booklets and manuals too. Definetly a process to consider.
I don't see why you couldn't replace the ballast. I've found that a lot of DIY projects are far less complicated than I thought they would be. Your task probably won't be very hard either, once you get good info and a clear understanding of what you have to do. Good luck.
