What kind of resistor is this?

[metiz]

Can anyone help me identify this resistor? It's not a weird one, I just **** at electronics. If read from the isolated brown band down, I get 180 ohms, asuming that silver band isn't gray. Can anyone confirm?

I suggest brown-black-black-silver brown, 1.00 ohm 1%

Or brown-black-black-silver gray brown, 1.00 ohm 0.05% 100 ppm. But 0.05% tolerance with 100 ppm TK would be about to useless.

I thought these things had to be read starting from the isolated band... oh well, so 1 Ohm then. That makes this thing even more suspect. It's from a broken TL armature and when it was still solderd on the board, it read something like 14Mohms. After desoldering it I couldn't get a reading at all.

Measure it with your DVM!

It reads anywhere from 14Mohms to >20Mohms, so it's most likely broken and I need a replacement

Maybe it was used as a fuse and it has blown because there is still a fault in the circuit. Then a replacement resistor will also blow or the circuit will smoke.

Is there anyway of finding this out? The resistor was part of a fluorenscent light. There are 4 leads, 2 going to eacht tombstone where the light bar rests in. One side has a high AC voltage (higher than my multimetre can take so I only had it on for an instant) while the other end is dead (no voltage)
