12VDC Fluorescent Lamp Driver


A number of people have been unable to find the transformer needed for this project, so I looked around to see if I could find a fluorescent lamp driver that does not require any special components. Here it is. It uses a normal 120 to 6V stepdown transformer in reverse to step 12V to about 350V to drive a lamp without the need to warm the filaments.

If u have Any doubts mail me-----krishna.hacker@gmail.com



Parts
C1 --100uf 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
C2,C3 --0.01uf 25V Ceramic Disc Capacitor
C4 --0.01uf 1KV Ceramic Disc Capacitor
R1--1K 1/4W Resistor
R2--2.7K 1/4W Resistor
Q1--IRF510 MOSFET
U1--TLC555 Timer IC
T1--6V 300mA Transformer
LAMP--4W Fluorescent Lamp
MISC--Board, Wire, Heatsink For Q1
Notes
Q1 must be installed on a heat sink.
A 240V to 10V transformer will work better then the one in the parts list. The problem is that they are hard to find.
This circuit can give a nasty (but not too dangerous) shock. Be careful around the output leads
