Lighting the defiant

Post by jinx182 »

I was on the culttvman's website and I saw a guy lighting the defiant with fluorecent tubes. does anyone know how that is done and is it easy.

Yes it is easy, But you have to know that you are dealing with High AC voltage.

The lamps use an Ballast(inverter) that kick out a starting charge of up to 850 volts AC. And while lit run between 150-500 volts AC.

The lamps, and the ballast can be picked up at Frys Electronics or ordered online.

Lowes carries the battery operated flourescent lights for your closet that work on 4 aa batteries that I used for mine. they work perfect.
