Gentlemen,Is there some reason why one cannot have flourescent tubes and LEDfloodlamps running off a common supply? I have found that whenparalelling up the LED floodlamps with flouro tubes, the tubes nolonger work; don't even try to start-up, despite the fact that havefull mains voltage connected to them. The LEDs OTOH, are totally fine.Anyone else had this experience?

I don't see how this might be an issue as long as there is nothing really outlandinish about the load then it should just work. Brian

But it would be nice to see the same fittings with cleaned diffusers and new working in fluorescents in a 3rd photo.

I love a bit of marketing FUD cunningly disguises as 'scientific research'
