Preheat F20T12 fluorescent tube drawing table « on: July 01, 2022, 01:37:37 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
I am interested in trying to get a preheat F20T12 fluorescent tube drawing table because I am thinking about giving it to a friend who really enjoys art as a hobby. Does anyone know where I can find such drawing tables?

Build one yourself, just get a metal box, and put a glass top on it. Then you can mount the ballast, and the sockets for the tube(s) and the starter(s). If you don't want to build it yourself, I would search around eBay.

HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.

Get a 2x2 troffer, surface mount would look better and convert it to preheat. Then get a piece of acrylic or glass to put over it.

If you search for "light box fluorescent" you can find a few smaller ones on eBay. They seem to be mostly manual preheat.
