wiki wierdness
 

While adding a google groups link to the wiki, I noticed the section
numbers seem to be out of sync, e.g if I clicked on the final edit link
on the page, it brought up an empty section, I had to click on the
penultimate edit link in order to edit the final section.

Seems likely some content in the "7 Ballast Types" or "7.1 Switchstart"
entry has upset the wiki software.

there was a html comment on the end of the 7.1 title text. I moved that
to the following line.

"100-125w glowstarters for 8' tubes only"

Did you mean 6' tubes?

I wasn't editing that section, that was just the section which was
upsetting the wiki.

But searching for available tubes seems to show 1800mm (~6') tubes are
70W and 2400mm (~8') ones either 100W or 125W, so the wiki seems correct.

On thinking about it you are correct, it is just such a long time since
I last came across an 8' tube. With the slim line tubes having almost
universally replaced the fat ones, I doubt they even make the 8' now.

Plenty of places seem to sell them, mostly by the carton though.

I still fit and replace 8' fittings and tubes and can buy them by the
carton or singly.

The 100W is the energy saving 125W tube. It was the first
retrofit energy saving tube, and reduction in tube diameter
from T12 to T8 didn't happen until after this one appeared.
Hence it's still a T12, whereas all the other energy saving
tubes are T8's. In the US, their energy saving tubes came
later, and their 8' one is a T8.
