Re: [VAL] 12 Volt Flourescent Fixtures?

It will be interesting to know what devices are between the lamps and
the 12 volt battery. Its the nature of gas discharge lamps (fluorescent,
neon, HID, and sodium vapor) that the lamps need external controls to
start the discharge and to limit the current once fired. That's a
fundamental. And that discharge won't occur with less than 60 volts
depending on the gas mixture. Some take more voltage.
