Overdriven Flourescents??????

[Mr.Wakenbake]

If anyone has any information on how to do this or any experience with it please chime in. I would love to know what's up with this.

Good day,
Check out the thread at the bottom of this page. It has a section talking about how to increase the fluorescent output. I read it but it's way over my head when dealing with electrical rewire. Not sure if this helps.....

I looked into it and it is not easy. It allows you to double and even triple the watts that run through your tube. Example, 40 watt T12 would be overdriven to run at 80 watts. All it does is decreases the life of the bulb. I didn't do it because it is a pain in the arse to do all the wiring. Later.
