1 WATT FLUORESCENT
LAMP NIGHT LIGHT
If you are tired of replacing small night light lamps, try this circuit. The
line powered circuit uses a long life cold cathode fluorescent lamp. A simple
charge pump technique runs the lamp without any transformer.
5W FLUORESCENT LAMP INTENSITY
MODULATOR
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.
