Re: UV Article

Sandy,
 I had the same problem when I built my wood box fluorescent BL bulb unit. In fact, at first they did not turn on at all. It was maddening! Turns out the ballasts HAVE TO BE grounded. They don't work otherwise. I ran a wire which I attached to each ballast and then to the ground. It solved the problem.

 It has been my experience in working with the two-tube holders that if you removes the reflectors the tubes turn on erratically, or not at all. When I built my first BL unit I removed several of the reflectors, for reasons I can not recall, and had all kinds of trouble (flickering, lights turning on erratically, etc.)  with the unit. Then someone told me they played an important role in the correct functioning of the lights and I put them back on and the probems were solved rightr away.
