I've had a UPS on the computer since the early '90s, after losing the
best sales pitch I ever made to an instantaneous glitch which rebooted
my computer on me. I vowed that it would never happen again.

Are they really causing problems in fluor fixtures? I don't recall
ever having heard that before. Symptoms, besides fire?
A normal cheapy UPS doesn't help at all - it needs to be an "on-line"
or "dual conversion" UPS to do the job.

Drat, I knew you'd catch that.


Google it.

Si!

Egad, with a $550-1,200 entry level, I think I'll pass. I'm glad
they're not needed for residential lighting.

mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?"
