20W 40W Fluorescent Lamp Inverter

This is certainly a low-cost 20W/40W fluorescent lamp inverter circuit project. Even so the maximum effective would be to make use of a 40 watt tube (or two 20 watt tubes in series). It is a circuit you may put collectively from junk box parts or assemble from a kit. It certainly is quite easy to construct and no need printed circuit board. The transformer is hand-wound on a ferrite rod (from an old transistor radio) and the winding wire could be salvaged from an old transformer. We’re intentionally maintaining bills down to confirm how cheaply it could be put together. 20W/40W Fluorescent Lamp Inverter Schematic Dependant upon your stock of components, the cost could vary from $3.00 to about $15.00 and in case the wires from the transformer are soldered to the ends of the tube(s), you are able to make a free-standing light that can be set-up in the garden to light up a dark place without having the worry of operating 240v wiring. The cost of powering the circuit is about 22 watts and ...
