While we're on the subject of black light fixtures, I was hoping someone
could help me with a problem I have. I have a self-constructed bank of BL
bulbs that usually has a problem "coming alive". The fixtures and ballasts
are new (seven generic two-bulb units from Home Depot). When I apply power,
several of the units merely flicker feebly and won't light until I rub them
repeatedly with a wad of aluminum foil. Even then, I have to be vigilant
because a lit fixture can occasionally go dim in the middle of an exposure.
I've checked my wiring and grounds and everything looks fine.
