    How to wire UV light tube to battery help
    Hi, I have a UV light tube that I want to wire to a battery source for a school project. The UV light tube has two metal ends on both sides of the tube. Can someone please show me how I can wire this? Thanks.

    How much power do you need to make the light work? What is it rated at ? Do you know the make of it?

    It's a F4T5/BL UV Bulb, I believe its 4W. It's actually a replacement bulb for a mosquito trap. Similar look to the one in the link below: http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j0...-Tube-Lamp.jpg

    That is a black light bulb. It will not work with batteries as it is not a filament bulb. It is rated for 130VAC. You would need a fixture and a plug.
