5W FLUORESCENT LAMP INTENSITY MODULATOR
 

This hobby circuit was designed to experiment with using small fluorescent lamps as a broad pattern source of modulated light. This hobby 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.
