LOL you guys. Laughing How 'bout a F4T5 light?
rjluna2   [Apr 17, 2012 at 04:43 PM]
I doubt that it would kill the battery Razz

Assuming with the ballast loss, it would take about 3 to 4 Amps load since you are plugging into the cigarette lighter. Besides the car battery could take up the 100A of load Shocked

By the way, nice fitting Smile

CAW! CAW! I let him take this light at the junkyard. Now I need to find two of these for the minivan.

I didn't use the cigarette lighter...I used alligator clips onto the light up there....yep close the door it goes off open the door it turns on!

I once did that with a inverter and F8T5 strip. Razz
GullWhiz   [Apr 18, 2012 at 02:11 AM]
This one may have an inverter style ballast.....it lights up two F15T8 lamps....me and FGS found this fixture in a bus in the junkyard!

it mjust draw 3.5 amp of current and it take 14 hours run a battery compleatly down. but 6 to 8 hours is enough to keep your car from starting.
LilCinnamon   [Apr 18, 2012 at 12:40 PM]
You would need to screw in the light to the roof. xD This looks tacky, but nice. xD Much brighter light for the car at night. xD

How did you mount the light up there in the first place?
FGS   [Apr 18, 2012 at 03:04 PM]
Alligator clips to the light's wires. The clips just bit into the screws on the car's OEM light. As for it being brighter than the car's stock light. HUGE difference between the two. Even my folks liked this light.
LilCinnamon   [Apr 18, 2012 at 03:52 PM]
I mean how was it mounted? How is it staying up there? I know how its connected but I was just wondering how it's MOUNTED Up there.
FGS   [Apr 18, 2012 at 05:27 PM]
That's what I just said. The clips are holding it up there. It's temporary until Jace can get some duct tape to tape it up there. (I think it's highly likely he will use duct tape. Razz ) I would bolt it down if I had it in my car.
CrazyLamp   [Apr 18, 2012 at 06:20 PM]
why dont you use velcrow strips to hold them down and you can remove them any time.
A_lights   [Apr 18, 2012 at 10:49 PM]
I want one of those now Razz
TiCoune66   [Apr 18, 2012 at 11:51 PM]
LOL, energy-saving lights are invading cars! Shocked

I would like to install a CCFL / inverter kit in my car's glovebox so I can see inside at night LOL. I have a few of those kits from old scanners and I don't use them anyway xD
GullWhiz   [Apr 19, 2012 at 03:20 AM]
OH FELIPE!!!!!!!! I WILL REMEMBER THAT INSULT! TRUST ME I WILL REMEMBER THAT!!!! AND I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE Shocked Shocked Shocked

And CrazyLamp (what's your name if you want me to call you by your first name) great idea.....why didn't I think of that!!! Hey I could use a magnet too......the car body is metallic so it may work!
FGS   [Apr 19, 2012 at 03:45 AM]
You do know I was messing with you Mr. Gull right? HEH! LOL! Laughing I know you're gonna bolt it down or velcro it. Wink

Oh, the "insult" is for calling me a weirdo. An eye for an eye. An arm for an arm. Razz
CrazyLamp   [Apr 19, 2012 at 03:46 AM]
yea Jace you can call me Jeremy. you could used hard drive magnets they they are pretty dam strong.
GullWhiz   [Apr 19, 2012 at 03:51 AM]
oh yeah Jeremy I forgot that was you, you offered me some nice blue LEDs...I forgot...its been a while I have been on GoL.......

Yeah I could use hard drive magnets I have em! Rare earth magnets I believe.......

Felipe...TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT! THEY MAKE A LEFT! so perhaps next time I drive to yer house...I shall make a left turn.......
FGS   [Apr 19, 2012 at 03:53 AM]
Yeah right. Insult me without expecting something in return? Sure that will happen. It will be the day I stop being interested in lighting and cameras. Rolling Eyes
GullWhiz   [Apr 19, 2012 at 03:56 AM]
I can make that happen with a simple talk with your family Shocked

But no worries Razz
