You probably use a cap that has a too low value. I would try with a 3 or 4 uF cap Wink

Yeah I should try a 3 or 4 uf cap when I get the chance to get one first lol. Anyways maybe the 2.5uf cap here might be better for a F8T5 Tulamp circuit but still I'll post an update when I try a bigger cap.

I got a 4 uF cap and tried it again this time the lead lamp is just around the same brightness as the lag lamp,but it still starts like a rapid start though and makes a loud buzzt sound when starting.

F15 Lead Lag Setup - Lamps Lit

Here's a pic of a F15 lead - lag Tulamp style setup that I made after seeing Daveman's pic on L-G, click here for more details and the link to Daveman's pic. Not that the lead lamp is notcily dimmer because it's underdriven but the camera didn't pick it up though.
