That sounds like a load of bollards to me. The basic specs from the starting and running are the same, indeed if they were not they just would make different ones for them and they don't. Of course depending on the output frequencies it could affect any material the unit was made from or coated in but otherwise.... Brian
Quartz glass, but otherwise yes.

Quite. If the ballasts were different, it would say so in the spec.
Is there anything different about running a UV germicidal tube than a normal fluorescent tube?
A vendor is advising that electronic ballasts are more sensitive somehow & therefore unsuitable as a replacement for an old ballast & separate starter setup...
TIA
I tend to agree Brian. I know little about the the technicalities of these things but shurely the internal discharge "arc" is the same as a lighting tube, but the inside of the lighting tube is coated in phosphor to fluorescence? rather than the UV tube being plain glass to "let it all out"?
Interesting thanks. I note big Clive used the exact same fluorescent batten fitting to demonstrate all 3 tubes including a UVC tube!
