But if you have two lights, with the phase rotated 90 degrees, you'll find
that as one light fades out, the other is just coming in. This is similar to
why a 6 cylinder car engine is smoother than a 4 cylinder one.

Sadly phases are not no dgerees out of phase, but 120.

A three tube three ballast three phase light fitting would be better,
but an elelctronic ballast is - er - cheaper?

and will facilitate the light firing up quickly and brightly when it's
cold........
