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.

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 04:04 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 04:52 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 06:27 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 07:20 PM]
why dont you use velcrow strips to hold them down and you can remove them any time.
A_lights   [Apr 18, 2012 at 11:49 PM]
I want one of those now Razz

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 04:20 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 04:45 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 04:46 AM]

GullWhiz   [Apr 19, 2012 at 04:51 AM]

FGS   [Apr 19, 2012 at 04:53 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 04:56 AM]
I can make that happen with a simple talk with your family Shocked

But no worries Razz
FGS   [Apr 19, 2012 at 04:58 AM]
Don't think I can't do the same to you. Simple talk to your folks. Shocked No worries either. Razz
GullWhiz   [Apr 19, 2012 at 05:02 AM]

FGS   [Apr 19, 2012 at 05:05 AM]

CrazyLamp   [Apr 19, 2012 at 05:06 AM]

Is not that bad idea, you only need a good protection for it.

You can use a voltage elevator from 12V to few KV, with a 20w output, and operate the tube as a cold cathode tube. Smile
