Querries on T5 Light

[parkvillas]

Hi,

I am trying to change from the PL to T5. From reading, T5 suppose to be more effective than PL in term of better penetration, heat and saving. The question is that do T5 light need e-balast? Asking becasue I saw those T5 light installed in HDB seen like not having the balast. anyone can have? I wants to DIY one since I have the casing. Thanks.

hi this the connect for normal house fluorescent lamp. dun get urself kill alway unplag from the AC soure when changing any device.
how to choose balast let say the tude is 10Watt than balast have to be the same 10W - 18w (never over power the tude you may burn it.)



if u are to young for this dun try it.. wait i cannot pay back ur mum a new son..

i had DIY fluorescent lamp lighting for my tank cause more than i pay for new set of light hahaha....
two tude $14
two balast $10
two starter $3
3 pin plug $2.5
housing use old one free
other $10

+ 4hr of work

for T5 Fluorescent light it need DC source so above setup cannot be use (correct me if wrong)
