FLUORESCENT LIGHT WITHOUT TRANFORMER AND STARTER ?
I brough a "Night Light" of five dollar for my bed room,it is a two
watts small U shape fluorescent tube, no tranformer & starter found in this Night Light. Last week I saw another 6 watts T8 fluorescent light on sale also without the tranformer & starter (was switch on). I belive they used a capacitor act as a high pass filter to run the light. Base on the same theorems, can I work on my 20 watts FL. or 40 watts FL. Can any person help me to understand this ? |

There's an extensive section in the FAQ on flourescents with links which cover this, I believe. jak |
