Fluorescent Lamp „Flicker" Note
Fluorescent Lamp End Blackening

Your fluorescent lamps may flicker or „spiral"
when new. This is a common characteristic of new
fluorescent lamps and does not indicate that the
lamps are defective. Normally, flickering gradually
diminishes then disappears after approximately 50
hours of operation.
Extended, or chronic flickering can also be a
result of the light booth being connected to an
ungrounded outlet or to a „noisy" electrical circuit,
e.g. a circuit with a photocopier or other device
with high power requirements connected to it. To
eliminate these causes of flicker, make certain
that your light booth is connected or wired to a
properly grounded outlet or reconnect the light
booth to another circuit which is known not to
have high-powered devices on it.
Ignition filament deposit during operation can
cause lamp blackening at the ends. This is a
normal condition and will not affect the light
quality or operational performance of your viewing
system.
All fluorescent lamps contain small amounts
of mercury. Please dispose of lamps properly
according to Federal, State, and Local regulations.
