I've just bought a ballast to go with a mercury lamp I bought on Ebay. I've just connected them up and the lamp is working OK. I rather stupidly put it on the bed with a dressing gown over it to keep the cat away, smelt burning a few minutes later and found the lamp had burnt the duvet cover and the dressing gown. 8-( Next step is to remove the outer envelope and do some test exposures. I'll rig up a suitable box to keep the UV away from me. Leon -- Leon Heller, G1HSM Suzuki SV1000S motorcycle leon.heller@... http://www.geocities.com/leon_heller
