Question abt DIY T5

[Ammonit]

Hi All

I'm thinking of DIY a double tube T5 lamp using a electronic ballast(QTFH 2x24/230-240) from osram.

Those that are available in the market(deltec & ati) are powered by a single switch. Is it possible to use 1 e-ballast (stated above) to power up individual T5 tube one at a time?

thanks

as far as i know, the osram eballast for dual tube can only light both tubes at a go and not individually.

i confirmed with the guy at Sinter.

you can get those osram e-ballast that drive 1tube. meaning 1 e-ballast for 1 tube.

BTW, How many watt are you going for your T5?
