Hi folks,
Tried again with workshop inverter that now cuts on duff tubes and it cut on the top one - same size as Daz wants - 490mm 'ish single, think to try Doug's short tube solution as I have lots of them - sure customer won't notice - Chris.
Later - 400mm tube fitted, evident dark patches top left and right - big prob though is a curious pulsing pattern on the screen - probably non - matching tubes on it's single inverter transformer ?
Think Janongpao's price would this time still give a small margin, esp as they are doubles, and I only need one tube. Think to go for it, although even when I handle carefully, those bendy 3mm tubes still mostly go phut on re-assembly - not to worry - robust LED strips are next week jobs, and with no added mercury -
Just noticed that post is 20 Quid or so cheapest, bit cheaper to America - Thinking again - Chris.
