Have a small collection of thin tube flourescents from
fax/scanner/laptops of unknown states.
I know at least one is green but I did not label as such, so made an
exerciser for 2 wire tubes , from the CFL board.
Tubes between pins 2 and 3.
2x 10R,.5w soon blew , 2x 0.33R,2W in positions 1 to 2 and 3 to 4
, probably too far the other way, but allowed to run each of them for a
few seconds to check for colour and non-evenness or strobing.
