| This circuit isn't efficient enough. Much power loss occur. Use two tansistor instead and use an efficient transformer instead of winding the wire around antenna rod. |

| This circuit does what it says, and does it pretty well. If you want to post smart comments that you can do better, include a link to your site :-)
I'm just building my third one.
Thanks |

| If U want to Get a better running circuit and cooler transistor temperatures not to mention MUCH lower current draw of 1.2A verses 3.6A with the transistor shown,,,,, then E-mail me and I'll send U an E-mail with an attachment J-peg Picture of the schematic that I re-enginered using this very Quaint Circuit.
Some things were added to Vastly IMPROVE stability and lower current draw PLUS ad longevity to the Operation of this inverter!!!!!!!

40W Fluorescent Lamp Inverter transformer 'ringing' |
Thursday, April 02, 2009 6:54:23 AM |
| When I built this curcuit I connected the transistor to an oscilloscope and the transformer 'ringed' at over 100v! Is there a way to filter this |

| guys, C3 goes parallel with the lamp. and yes, Q1 does get hot. this is a simple oscillator and not a specialized circuit to drive lamps. it is simple and easy to build, but if you want something efficient, you'll need a better schematic, maybe with specialized IC. |

| Hi
I'm quite blind in electronic but I tried build this inverter, because I love challenge my abilities every time do not laugh but there are some ground signals 4 in total which comes from C1, R2, C2 and Q1 What I should with?, and the schematic shows T1 secondary connecting in just one polarity of the lamp, doesn't matter there are 2 each side. Thanks for share with us your acknowledgment.

40W Fluorescent Lamp Inverter used on High Pressure Sodium Lamp |
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 12:43:34 PM |
| Is there any way to make this curcuit into a 50w Fluorescent Lamp Inverter because the sodium lamp works fine and goes yellow but does not work at full brightness due to it being 10w too low. Even on a 40w fluorescent lamp is the transistor supposed to get so hot? I even put a drop of water on it and it boiled! Is their a mosphet version of this? |

| Dear sir,nice ckt but where does C3 goes?U have not shown in the ckt diagram.
I'm confused in T1 & L1
Kindy suggest the IC instead of T1 & L1.
Pls help me i,want to do this project for final year.
Or kindly suggest the similar circuit

| Hallo, what a lovely simple circuit that works nice :-) I must, however, note that the schematic doesn't comply with the component list (which is incorrect). There is no C3 and C2 should be 100nF, not 100uF like C1. Hope it helps clarify things. |

I have a similar set up for my fishing light. the high voltage supply to the lamp is extended with 12 ' of # 16 stranded, this works fine, my problem is when I extend this to 30' # 12 stranded the light will come on for a short period of time if I open and close the common, how can I get more output to drive the light.
