Hello all especially any electrical minded people out there.
I built a UV light source using the plans out of Dick Sullivan and Carl Weese's
new book. I changed the lamps specified in the book from 20 watt to 30 watt.
Consequently when I went to several suppliers I could not find the type of
ballast specified in the book for a 30 watt. They showed me one that would do
the job for the 30 what bulbs I have. They are "preheat ballasts" not trigger
start. I need to know how to kick my lights on. Do I need starters? If so
anyone care to draw a diagram mentally or otherwise to explain how I might
tackle this problem.
The ends of the tubes light but it does not completely light unless I rotate
lamp in socket till it is "loose" meaning ready to come out. Could a bad
ground be problem?
Any help would be much appreciated as I would like to use this new light box in
an upcoming workshop.
Thank you all for any help on
this matter.
