roidan Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 u may have to see the wiring on the ballast diagram... some dual tube ballast loop one end of the tube to end of another tube...so if you leave 1 tube empty, the whole circuit in a way is broken.... not sure about that...but you gotta see the diagram printed on the osram ballast...

SRC Member orgasbt Posted February 29, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 29, 2004 i dont think it's possible to fire up your dbl e-ballast using just one light> unless u know how to do a looping. If i am not wrong, there's 7 slots for you to insert your wires. If you dont know how to do the looping then it's not possible to fire up just one light. Pls correct me uif i am wrong. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks eg if I want to use tube 1 (pin 1,2 & 3) only, should I connect the remaining point of the end cap to pin4? or I use pin 1,2 & 5,6?? need to take a risk if no reply from expert or OSram... sigh double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member PornStar Posted March 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted March 2, 2004 I've asked the guys at Sinter before. They told me that it was not possible to fire up one tube using a dual tube ballast. I asked them twice on 2 separate occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
