Fluorescent lamps, electronic vs. glow starters VIDEO
Experiments with some fluorescent tube fixtures with traditional magnetic ballasts (iron inductors). Comparing standard glow switch starters with an electronic starter, exploring what's inside. Reverse engineering the electronic fluorescent starter schematic and explaining how does it work. Some oscilloscope waveforms. Thanks for the donated electronic starters ;). Correction: they turn on after 1 cycle, not halfcycle.https://www.patreon.com/DiodeGoneWild https://www.instagram.com/savage_danyk/
