Thank you!
-----------------
I already bought a car ignition coil. Also I bought a 14w fluorescent lamp, But when I connected it to the camera circuit, it gave not much light. I was expecting a little more from it.
My neighbor replaced a circular ceiling fluorescent lamp because it lights at random and I ask her to give it to me so I can make some experiments. The only thing that I need now is the relay Aromaz use on his video.
By the way, anybody has gotten the part number of that relay?

A word of caution, re: CFL light bulbs.

I read somewhere that they emit harmful radiation...due diligence called for.

I read somewhere that they emit harmful radiation...

Hmmm... References would be a little more helpful... Otherwise it could possibly be mixed up with another terror threat level...

X-ray tube, CRT, FL, CFL, CCFL, etc., work _somewhat_ similarly. Of course you have _some_ kind of radiation (that's the whole idea). But where does your "harmful" start? Well, the technology has been around and in use for many decades (before the 1930s). Are you referring to something specific to CFLs only?

BTW, there are some nice colorful pictures in Wikipedia under FL, CFL and CCFL (try different language selections):

@ ist:

Heck, if you get any more supplies and equipment, someone in your neighborhood may turn you in suspecting that you are doing something evil.  (Smile)  I would love to come and play at your house one day.  I think it would be fun.  I can't wait to see your video.
