The circuit was
designed to experiment with using small fluorescent lamps as a broad pattern source of
modulated light. The circuit hits the small lamp with narrow 1us pulses at a rate of
10KHz. Each pulse launches about 10 watts of visible light. The lamp starting method
is a bit crude but the circuit does work.
