Aren’t these 2’ chokes identical to 18w sox gear?
fluorescent   [13 Feb, 2018 at 08:26 PM]
So a 2ft ballast can run an 18w sox ok? didn't know that
AngryHorse   [13 Feb, 2018 at 08:29 PM]
The running specs are almost identical Very Happy

Ideal.

Very ideal! Will have to see if I can get some 18w sox to play with. Just need an ignitor then
Slyspark   [13 Feb, 2018 at 10:21 PM]
Yes, the ignitor is the main issue. Shame, as I've got tons of 18w ballasts I've ripped out in stock, as well as quite a lot of 18w SOX.

Rip all your LED piss out and go back to this set up!
fluorescent   [13 Feb, 2018 at 11:41 PM]
Would an 18w sox strike on ballast voltage spike alone, i.e. short the lamp out momentarily?
Slyspark   [13 Feb, 2018 at 11:43 PM]
I've heard of people using fluorescent starters wired across the lamp, but I believe it's a bit hit and miss at starting.....
MissRiaElaine   [14 Feb, 2018 at 07:49 PM]
Thought I heard that 18W SOX would run on 20W ballast with no ignitor, but as I have neither ballast nor lamp I can't prove or disprove it Sad

My front light had a 35/70watt halide superimposed ignitor in it, that ran fine, and didn`t torch any lamps.
