European 2 lamp 22w T9 preheat circline fixtures with both lamps in series? « on: March 08, 2023, 01:44:25 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
After knowing that it is common in Europe to find 2 lamp 18w T8 preheat fluorescent tube fixtures and 2 lamp 20w T12 preheat fluorescent tube fixtures with both lamps wired in series off a single 36w T8 preheat choke ballast, I am wondering if any 2 lamp 22w T9 preheat circline fluorescent fixtures with both 22w T9 circline lamps wired in series existed in Europe because 22w T9 circline fluorescent lamps are electrically similar to 20w T12 fluorescent tubes and 18w T8 fluorescent tubes?

I dare to guess probably no. For space usage standpoint, it just isn't practical to use to two circular lamp of samesize in one fixture.

In Japan, there are some pendant fixtures that use a pair of same wattage circline lamps stacked on top of each other.

Preheat 22w/32w circline fluorescent ballasts also existed in North America too and ran the lamps in series too, but those ballasts are very rare
