Re: flourescent lights

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what is going on when a flourescent light makes a very loud humming noise, and you can actually see waves running down the tubes? What kind of fields would be emanating from this, and, should the lights be changed?
Thanks, Audy.

I don't know actually, but I'd guess either you need new bulbs or
there is some kind of interference caused by something nearby causing
waves in the lights. This would probably have to be pretty strong fields
I would think. The other possibility is a bad ballast; if both bulbs are
acting
the same the ballast could be the problem.

Also, if there's a dimmer switch, that could be the problem. Most dimmer
switches are not compatible with fluorescents.

Is this hapening with several bulbs or just one? It sounds like what happens
when a fluorescent light is turned on and the electrical discharge doesn't
stabilise after the first few seconds, so that in effect the lamp keeps
trying to start. Could be wrong since I'm not seeing it. Usually means the
bulb needs to be replaced, but if that doesn't solve it there's some other
underlying cause.

Try also replacing starter chokes ?

Sounds like ballasts to me.
Best is replace it with nonfluorescent.

They radiate the frequency of all elements they are made with,
mercury, fluorine, phosphorous, etc. besides the electric current.

It destroys vitamin A in your body, and ??gentian something in your
eyes. I think I'm getting gentian violet confused with another item,
but something necessary in your eyes.
