pinlight CF

[kenneth_kpe]

can anybody help me with a CF pinlight problem ?
well i know how to hook up a tube fluorescent fixture, but when it comes to pinlight Cf's i dont know nothing

in a tube fluorescent i would need a ballast the tube and a starter but when it comes to pinlight CF's do i still need a starter ? and how do i hook the wires up ?

o ya the pinlight bulbs im talking about are GX23 CF's..... im still stooped on how to hook em up DIY

 

[Silly me]

it much easier than you think..

power -- balast -- CF..

no need for a starter as the CF eletronic balast doesnt use a starter.

It doesnt use the same balast as the normal four pin tubes.

ic ic ic thanks a bunch im gonna make a visit to the DIY shop soon hehehe

but i think its gonna be a bit more complicated... i want to wire the pinlights CF's to a single ballast ? hmmm is will be the same right ?

Im not sure you could power more than one light at a time.. meaning a 40w will not power two 20w.. but I could be wrong.
