"Fitzgerald" Lightpack installed.

This batten started off as an LED batten with no gear, close spaced Y style lampholders and some nasty 5000k LED tubes.
The whole reason why I bought it was to play with so added some nice Tridonic chokes and Thorn Vivatronic starters. I also swapped the lampholders to wide spaced H ones which look a lot better. But I never found a use for it until now.
The only thing is, before I fitted it at the other end of my man cave so I have more light, I stripped the mag gear out and installed a Philips HF Performer III. This was done because my high mains voltage makes the chokes run smoking hot and it probably isn't doing the lamps much good either. I also did the surface cat2 fitting at the other end of the room which used to buzz like fuck.
I forget what brand this was sold as but it's deffo Fitzgerald as it still retains their logo on the spine and the Made in England stamp on the cover.

Connecting the Vivatronic through a rectifier bridge would make an interesting experiment, though it might overload the vivatronic during starting or later running
