Comments:Got bored this evening so I thought I'd make a quick vid going through some different types of starter switches. I'm using a 4' 40W Fitzgerald Lightpack as the test fitting with a GE F40W/35 as a T12 test lamp and a Philips TL-D 36W/84 as t

Cool vid - I was just thinking that the PP with angle reflector would look great along that wall!

That's what I was thinking! At some point I do actually plan to have a rewire in the loft, fill the hole where this fitting is and move it out from the wall about a foot. I think I will put the 6' PP up instead because I've got a plentiful supply of 6' lamps in a range of colours and I am rather partial to a good angle reflector! Very Happy

Number 3 is the best, 2 and 4 sound like they torture the gear too much Very Happy

The arlen pulsestarter that I use model 600 seems to only give the 2 second preheat on T12s not T8s. Odd?? Nice vid 5*

Got that 6ft PP with the angle reflector up there yet Eliot?

Yeah the latest Pulsestarters are a bit different, shorter preheating and with any of the krypton filled lamps they seem to spend about half a second with a glow discharge running the length of the tube but the filaments still being heated! Work a treat with 100W lagging circuits too unlike the older ones!

Not got it up yet Paul, the trouble is where this fitting is mounted it's about half an inch away from the wall which is far to close for the angle reflector to do its job if I had the 6' PP up! Sad I'll get round to sorting it out at some point!
