Thanks Hero999, do you know if this tubes are safe for the eye and skin?


thank you.

 

[Hero999]

The partn umber and photo indicates they emit UVA which is non-hazardous unless you do something stupid like stare at it from close range or hold the tube next to your skin for ages whilst it's on.

will this lamps and ballast work together? or will the lamps burn?
The ballast has a bunch of lamps listed in its label:

4/3 F28T8            |      1.51/1.30
4/3 F25T8            |      1.39/1.20
4/3 F15T8            |      1.04/0.89

According to the picture, the F15T8 is not listed  so is not suitable for the tube you've linked to.

Hi,

I'm new here.

Can you tell me which incarnation of the PIC16F84 was used on this project?

RS stock about 7 different types that operate at different frequency's

I just found a PIC16C54 and a PIC16F57 (28pin) , would any of these work?

Cheers
