For people wondering, fluorescent tubes indeed are in a vacuum. They are, in other words, a *low-pressure mercury lamp* , like those germicidal ones they sell to disinfect water but with a phosphor coating to make visible and unharmful light.

I have seen this sort of failure before, and it's common for the instant start 8 footers, aka F96T12, operating off the old school magnetic ballast. The lamp begins to spiral and flicker wildly, one end gets very black with a red- orange glow. This occurs when the emission coating on one cathode is completely exhausted and can no longer emit electrons at the designated tube operating voltage, however the ballast open circuit voltage is so high that it will strike the tube anyway, and will continue until the lead wires inside the tube are completely burned away, the glass melts or cracks at the end wrecking the discharge, or the socket melts and the tube falls out. This can be especially serious for the newer T8 tubes, although these tend to be operating off electronic ballasts, which almost always has an EOL lamp detection system, which will shut the ballast down when it senses this happening. A magnetic ballast doesn't have this feature, but sometimes causes the ballast to burn out, although the old magnetic types tend to be very rugged and can take more abuse than the newer electronic versions. A rapid start lamp EOL depends on whether its a magnetic or electronic ballast, but tends to flicker for a while until it can no longer light. A preheat lamp EOL flashes on and off, as the starter will endlessly restrike, until the starter fails or the ballasts fails.
@THEBULBHOME2 жыл бұрын
Hmm that's interesting. Here in Mexico we have some different types of ballasts apparently. Here, at least on my experience, when the emission mix is gone and the tube is running on magnetic, they tended to just flicker until they when completely out, and the show we see on video is almost exclusive to electronic, which in Mexico they don't have any sort of EOL detection, at least the older ones, that's why I bought a new one...

I had this same exact thing happen on an F6T5 tube in a lantern. The tube would go to vacuum loss before melting any of the plastic. Battery-powered lanterns, like IS fixtures, start the lamps in cold cathode mode.
@Sparky-ww5re2 ай бұрын
@@BryanB-nr4yx interesting, I never really thought of this happening with a fluorescent lantern. But since instant start fluorescent is slightly more energy efficient than rapid start or trigger start since you eliminate the cathode heating, it makes sense why a battery operated fluorescent fixture would use instant start, not to mention instant start ballasts are simpler to manufacture since they don't have the low voltage circuits for the cathode heat, thus keeping costs to a minimum dispite the sacrifice in lamp life especially for preheat/rapid start tubes. I would assume these are the reasons most F32T8 fixtures have instant start electronic ballasts
@750kv8 Жыл бұрын
This happens when the thermionic coating on the filament in the bad end is fully depleted, resulting in the filament glowing bright orange, but at the same time unable to emit electrons efficiently, becoming the point of highest resistance inside the tube, with the increased voltage drop accross it inducing a harder ion bombardment onto the filament.

In my school, the fluorescent lamp near my table on the ceiling went bad last Wednesday. There was a purple glow at the right end [the ballast was in cold cathode mode I think], and you could barely see a filament arc. Every now and then the bulb would start flashing crazy and turn off for about 4-5 seconds, when I came back from playtime/recess the bulb was dead. Well at least I witnessed the last moments of it's life. When you turn the lights on it flickers a bit but it is a dim flicker. The ballast then goes into failure mode.

Same exact behavior before it blew except I could literally see the electrode melt and when it lost vacuum, it made a loud pop and cracked the glass. The end was very hot so I guess these electronic ballasts really drive every bit of life out of the tubes. It stayed lit even after the electrodes melted, only going dead when the glass cracked.

Since F48T12 slimline fixtures are very uncommon, at least in the USA, if you cannot find one you could take a standard rapid start F40 strip light and change the sockets to slimlines. Ballasts rated for F48T12 are readily l available in electronic (or magnetic on ebay and similar sites) though you'll more likely than not have to order it online. Usually the newer electronic ballasts can operate a range of lamps such as F24T12, F36T12 & F48T12, or F96T12, F72T12, F60T12 & F48T12 for example. Slimline sockets should be easy to find at your local home improvement store or hardware store.

Can any body explain that how a single pin Tube light can have heater (filament electrodes)? Or they don't have any and are only suitable for cold cathode type electronic ballasts? Or is it possible that the light base is one leg and pin is another leg of electrode?
@Sparky-ww5re Жыл бұрын
Single pin fluorescent tubes have filaments, but they are connected to the same pin on each end of the lamp and therefore cannot be preheated. Many years ago bi pin instant start lamps were also available and such lamps were identified by "IS" in the lamp designation, F40T17/CW/IS & F40T12/CW/IS are the only bi pin instant start lamps I've heard of never seen in person, they were in my 1993 GE lamp and ballast catalog. Bi pin instant start lamps have the filaments internally short circuited so they cannot be preheated and therefore will not operate if mistakenly used with a rapid start ballast. Instant start lamps use a high enough voltage to start the lamp without heating the cathodes. They have a shorter life for the same number of starts vs rapid start but have slightly better energy efficiency and are good choices for areas where the lamps stay on for several hours at a time and starts are kept ro a minimum.
