Is this safe to do? « on: August 30, 2025, 10:36:29 AM » Author: axel_chai
Hey guys, it's been a while since I logged onto this webstie. So, I'm currently attempting to mend my old table lamp. The ballasts in there don't sound good anymore, anyways that's what the main problem is. The fixture came with two 10W 110V ballasts, while the mains in my country (Indonesia) is 220V. I bought a 10W 220V ballast, it doesn't fit in the fixture, so, should I buy two more 10W 110V ballasts? I still can find them somewhere though, but is it safe to do? Wire them in series?

I love old lamps! I will try collecting a lot of older lamps, especially LPS and fluorescent! And I will not do weird experiments because I'm not an expert!

So do I need two lamps? Because the fixture only can fit one tube. Thank you. Update : Here you can see the fixture : https://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-237750
