[QUOTE="happinessandcolour, post: 534923, member: 35681"] Hello folks, Thank you for all of your responses. To answer to why Fluorescents instead of LED's: These lights are not being used for standard home lighting. They are being used to cure Polymers. My experience has been that the Fluorescent UV Tubes work better at this than LED tubes, but I could very well be wrong. I'm just going on my own experience. The T8 Fluorescent tubes work well for me, and I'm happy to stick with them. Please could I ask advice on one more question: Obviously the Ballasts & Fluorescent tubes can get quite hot after being left on for a while. Would standard 0.75mm PVC Flex be OK for this ( [URL]https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CA0dot75F3slash50.html[/URL] )? [B]Or would it be a better idea to use a Heat-Resistant flex in this situation? Any thoughts on this?[/B] All the very best, and thanks again for all of the advice. [/QUOTE]
