Bear with me will you please, It's been a loooong time.... :( I seem to remember being taught that the way the lamp works is that when the starter activates, the choke generates a high striking voltage due to the collapsing magnetic fields, which activates the tube. Once the tube has been...

I need to get some fluorescent lamps for the garage. As I use the garage as my workshop, I want it to be as bright as possible. Looking at the ScrewFix site, I see that the low power factor lamps only use 38W tubes, and the high power factor lamps use 58W tubes. The difference in price is...

My problem is that next door is very close (2M) to my workshop/garage, and when I'm thicknessing or using the table saw I close all the doors and windows to keep the noise down. I'd rather keep the peace and suffer a little than get into a war. Esp as he is on the parish council and is red hot...
