It's a battery operated storm lamp with the original tube replaced by a G4T5 (I think) and a normal starter and ballast firing arrangement. It is too slow for me (20+minutes to erase at 1/2 inches from the tube, and 30 minutes once every 5 erases to wipe it real good - otherwise gremlins show up sometimes). That's why I prefer the monster lamp. Works every time. Peter -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
