Bedroom accent lighting
At the top of my bookcase, behind my 2xF40 black light fixture, these two cheap fixtures are hidden behind for accent lighting. In the foreground is a Lights of America "Lifelite" magnetic 22w circline with its original Warm White halophosphate tube. I hate that colour for direct lighting but it's very interesting when used to indirectly light an entire room. Also interesting is the LOA F15T8 preheat fixture behind it, as it has a plant/aquarium lamp in it. Rather simply dimming ceiling fixtures, I can transform the mood of the whole room (colour, light level and light source location) - I can select whatever fixture I want & switch it on/off via a wireless switch next to the main room light switch.

Is the PL/AQ lamp a GE? Did you peel the label off the circline adapter? I have three of those LOA adapters, two with their original tubes and one currently lampless. (and four GE ones ("Circlite 75" I think), one lampless, and three with ACE cool white tubes.
Love that BLB fixture! I'm guessing a Lithiona striplight? I love those and have a 1XF20T12 trigger start one, although I know 2XF20T12, 1XF40T12, 2XF40T12, and 2XF96T12 versions also exist...what about F30T12 versions and 1XF96T12 versions?

The PL/AQ lamp is a PennPlax. The label came off the circline adapter and I didn't bother to re-glue it. The BLB fixture is indeed a Lithonia from the mid 1990's though I reballasted it with an electronic rapid-start T12 ballast (lamps are original, from the mid-1990's). Lithonia had strip lights in all those sizes; I've never seen F30 & F96 BLBs; if they exist, they are probably quite rare.

What was the original ballast? I know F96 BLB lamps DO exist, but I don't know about F30 ones...

Original was an Advance Mark III. It's in the wraparound above my head as I write this.

That isn't your bedroom wrap is it? Doesn't that have an electronic ballast?
