An electrical device needed to provide flourescent lights with
electrical conditions needed to operate. It is a heavy metal cased
part located above the reflector inside the light hood. If you remove
the screws holding the reflector to the hood, you will find the
ballast. It will have 5 or 2 wires coming from it.

Not to mention the function of ballasts on submarines.
