Remember this? Well, after failed attempts to instant start it using some 240V chokes I decided to use a Advance IS T8 ballast I had lying around to light it up. Well here's the end result xP , note that I switched to some more expendable lamps for this pic though.
If they were modern T5HO lamps and in series like that, then connected to both outputs (2x overdrive mode for a T8 ballast) they'd actually be running at something close to proper specs (at least from what I've seen people post on another site)
Deff wouldn't want to let one go EOL with that setup LOL
Common finding: After the warm-white tube became a daylight tube it lost vacuum
Only one cracked, and It didn't crack right away, but a couple weeks later I noticed both ends had cracked/fallen off (it was in my collection of lamps to be recycled)

They're wired in series to one of the outputs on the ballast with the other capped.
