12V - 40W Fluorescent Lamp

Lampu Neon 12 V - 40 W

If you don't satisfied with the 12VDC Fluorescent Lamp and wanna build the larger one, you can make this.

This 40W fluorescent lamp inverter allows you to run 40W fluorescent tubes from any 12V source capable of delivering 3A and can be used to light regular or blacklight tubes.

Notes

1. Email Bart Milnes with questions, comments, etc.
2. Wind L1/T1. You will need an AM antenna rod that is about 60mm (2.5 inches) long to wind T1/L1 on. T1/L1 are wound on the same core. Shrink a layer of heatshrink over the core to insulate it. Leave 50mm of wire at each end of the coils.
   Primary: Wind 60 turns of 1mm diameter enamelled copper wire on the first layer and put a layer of heatshrink over it.
   Feedback: Wind 13 turns of 0.4mm enamelled copper wire on the core and then heatshrink over that.
   Secondary: This coil has 450 turns of 0.4mm enamelled copper wire in three layers. Wind one layer and then heatshrink over it. Do the same for the next two.
   
3. Calibrate/test the circuit. To calibrate/set up the circuit connect the 2.2 Ohm 1W resistor (R3) in series with the positive supply. Connect a 40W fluorescent tube to the high voltage ends of the transformer. Momentarily connect power. If the tube doesn't light immediately reverse the connections of L1. If the tube still doesn't work, check all connections. When you get the tube to light remove the 2.2 ohm resistor and the circuit is ready for use. You will not need R3 again.
4. This circuit is designed for 220V lamps. It will work with 120V units just fine, but will shorten the life of the tube.

Jika Anda kurang puas dengan lampu neon 12 VDC dan ingin membuat yang dayanya lebih besar, Anda bisa membuat yang satu ini.

Inverter lampu neon 40 W ini bisa menyalakan lampu neon 40 W hanya dengan power suplai 12 V berarus 3 A, bisa neon biasa atau neon tabung hitam.

Lampu Neon 12 V DC

If you are looking for Fluorescent Lamp Driver using ordinary transformer, here it is.
It uses a normal 120 to 6V stepdown transformer in reverse to step 12V to about 350V to drive a lamp without the need to warm the filaments.

Parts

Part	Total Qty.	Description	Substitutions
C1	1	100uf 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
C2,C3	2	0.01uf 25V Ceramic Disc Capacitor
C4	1	0.01uf 1KV Ceramic Disc Capacitor
R1	1	1K 1/4W Resistor
R2	1	2.7K 1/4W Resistor

U1	1	TLC555 Timer IC
T1	1	6V 300mA Transformer
LAMP	1	4W Fluorescent Lamp
MISC	1	Board, Wire, Heatsink For Q1

Notes:

1. Q1 must be installed on a heat sink.
2. A 240V to 10V transformer will work better then the one in the parts list. The problem is that they are hard to find.
3. This circuit can give a nasty (but not too dangerous) shock. Be careful around the output leads.

Anda mencari rangkaian lampu neon 12 V DC dengan menggunakan trafo biasa? Ini dia.

Trafo yang digunakan seperti trafi biasa dengan tegangan 120 ke 6 V yang digunakan terbalik sehinggga dengan tegangan primer 12 V menghasilkan tegangan output 350 V untuk menyalakan lampu neon tanpa memanaskan filamen.

Catatan:

1. Q1 harus meenggunakan heatsink (peredam panas)
2. Lebih baik menggunakan trafo 240 ke 10 V, tapi masalahnya susah didapat :-)
3. Hati-hati dengan tegangan keluaran, bisa menyetrum!
