So what is the problem with this? They even included a plastic lens for beam forming, so in actual use the luminaire might be not that bad. Direct drive LEDs are prone to annoying double mains frequency flickering, though.

Our British friends to the rescue!

Are these 6ft ?

I am currently recording, and I need some opinions. I think videos on 3-4 related lamps together will be better than making a video for each one.


For example, take these four tubes, which are similar to each other (same brand).

1) I can make a video of 30-45 seconds for each tube, which means 4 videos total.

2) I can make a single 3-4 minute video about all of these tubes together.

Which one is better in your opinion?

You can also use 220V ballast in a suitable external box somewhere on the power cord. My usual advice is as always when in doubt you should use a true RMS multimeter to check tube current you are getting. Asian 10W tubes are 0.22A (if I remember right, please check).

Here is an interesting project...

I knew about these for a couple of years at the back of a warehouse and have finally secured them, I have some 85w T12 warm white fluro's and a couple of 125W T12 internal reflector tubes.
Now where to start? both types are Crompton and made in the UK, they have normal t12 style pins at the ends.
 I've been researching these  but as of date there is not a lot of info,  Lighting gallery has turned up a few clues. Ill make a couple of single tube fixtures using aluminium C channel to keep them safe. Has anybody had a go at these? I could get creative paralleling smaller ballasts but I would like to not cook these lamps, there will be no more.

I have designed a logo in MS paint.


I'll start posting tomorrow. It will take time as I have to set up ballasts for fluorescent tubes. I'll show my F40T12s first.

Well then, I'll start it a few hours from now. Currently designing a logo.
