Homemade F4T5 4w rapid start fluorescent strip light fixture 

[@BROKEN.WRENCH.GARAGE]

Super neat concept!! I may make a preheat f6t5 version out of a burnt out f96 slimline ballast i have! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@HIDLad001]

Nice! The F6T5 ballast will probably fit in yours better, because slimline ballasts are much bigger than regular rapid start ballasts.

[@BROKEN.WRENCH.GARAGE]

@HIDLad001 yup! I'm mocking everything up now and I think I have everything I need but the correct lampholders I want to use. The ballast fits super awesome in there

This is a neat concept for a fixture. Thanks for mentioning me!

[@HIDLad001]

You’re welcome. If this has been a dead slimline or HO ballast, I probably could’ve kept the LQ-106F-TP original, and have not had to remove it from its case.

Damn that ballast is enormous for a 4W tube 😦

[@f5tornadogray]

It’s because he used an old light ballast to house the other ballast

[@ExitSignAficionado]

I like it

[@HIDLad001]

I can tell ;)

[@Yanyan_isnothere]

Is it magnetic rapid start?

[@HIDLad001]

It is!
