40s era F20T12 fluorescent fixture

This exact fixture hung over my mom's sink for over 40 years!

Very sweet old little fixture! I have a couple of those old General Electric tubes too, in use in my 40’s era daybrite lighting fixture over my electronics workbench! Operating on 120V via a step down transformer since I live in Sweden where we use 230V mains. It has a sweet old General Electric ballast, it’s an absolute beauty. It has so much iron in it that it has almost a perfect power factor, and doesn’t even need a capacitor! It doesn’t seem to mind 50hz operation either, doesn’t get hot and doesn’t overdrive the tubes!

Please throw out those wirenuts, they are banned in many countries for a reason...
