Thorn guard light 4w non maintained
Picked this up many moons ago NOS. The battery pack leaked all over the PCB & it was f*cked. I stripped it all out & fitted a Tridonic 4/6/8w magnetic ballast, and a pulse starter with potted canister & fly leads to make a cute, if not exactly bright, bulkhead. The Holland made philips tube has taken banding to a whole new level though! (I think it maybe slightly comtaminated)

Yeah i would say it has been contaminated! Looks mad that

I have the exact same bulkhead that also had the exact same issue. I converted mine to triple tube 4w which actually makes it surprisingly bright.
