Various fluorescent bulkheads
After spending a day and age wiring these, i finally was able to put power to them. A few blinks and they all lit up as expected. From left to right we have 4 Coughtrie SFB16's, followed by their larger brother, the SFB32. Next up we have a Philips MFB16, which is now technically a MFB24 since it was converted from 2 tubes to 3 tubes. Finally we have a Siemens Valiant, which was originally designed by GEC. All tubes are 4000k, and all are Preaheat/SS, but the diffusers made the tubes look different to each other, especially notable on the SFB16's. In total, 17 tubes are used across these 7 bulkheads

Nice selection of fluorescent bulkheads there.. I have the original GEC valiant here somewhere, with massive open coil ballasts (will upload sometime)
