Ttystikk's vertical goodness

You'll end up either not stroking the lamp at all, or risking early failure- often explosively. Is your lamp open rated? If not, DON'T run it in the open! The lack of scatter protection will send little burning bits of ceramic pit everywhere and can start fires.

These fuckin bulbs are no joke!

Hey, how'd you get the lab footage of my fusion lamp plasma containment failure?

The recording landed on my lawn? :0

Careful with the bulbs!
I had an HPS explode before and it was scary.
It doesnt turn off even after exploding and was shooting sparks and sounded like a welder.

why would sine wave be less efficient? More expensive to build yes, but? or is it about the physics of the bulb itself liking the faster phase shift?

Thanks God was a failure, lol.

Sine wave only drives the lamp at maximum for an instant, and spends 30% of the time near zero.

Square wave spends almost all of its time at maximum output and almost zero near the zero line. Same wattage expended, 30% more light.

You should see what happens when I succeed.

We call those Parakeets in the US.

Ahh I understand, thanks

LED runs on DC, no flickering at all.

I saw that already mate i just want to
See more, lol

I have done photovoltaic installations and this threw me as I was thinking in those terms as related to electronics, not a resistive load.
We ran DC for lighting for that reason, better efficiency.

Budgies rule!!

I dunno, seemed to be a pretty even split when I was a kid. (Budgie/parakeet)

We had one in the 70s/80s. He lived quite a few years, and then one day when my sisters were cleaning his cage he just flew out the window.

yeh thats sad..there are no dumb budgies ..just dumb or at times tuned out..budgie owners[close window doors]

This is why you train them to fly to you, so you can go outside and it will fly down to you.

It happened to some friends.

I'm gonna try to work on my SIPS setup today.
