DIY 1xF6T5 Rapid-Start Fluorescent Strip Light

Here is a DIY fluorescent strip light I made with my dad back in July. It takes one F6T5 fluorescent lamp and has a rapid-start magnetic ballast. Yup, you read that right, a rapid-start magnetic ballast, the Advance LQ-106F-TP to be specific. A rapid-start magnetic ballast for a single 4/6/8w T5 lamp. Yup, such a thing exists and it's super cool! The fixture is shown with a Sylvania F6T5/CW cool white halophosphate lamp.
