6 foot Slimline Fluorescent strip « on: June 24, 2021, 02:56:56 PM » Author: Seth11
I am wanting a 6 foot slimline fluorescent strip. I purchased a couple on eBay, but it turns out he didn’t have them in stock and didn’t delete the listing.

If you do not have access to tools, you could use a 6 foot sheet of plywood and make your own slimline strip like I have been doing for making some homemade HO and VHO fixtures.

That fine for expermenting. But for perminant install no. It would violate the NEC.

Yes making your own homemade fixtures can violate the NEC. I do not recommend it for permanent installations. But if you make them, make sure they are grounded. Grounding fluorescent fixtures is a requirement of NEC and UL. I must say it because I care for everyone’s safety.
