Hi all,
I've wired up 10 flourescent lights in a parallel circuit for a light box as in the picture. Each bulb is 36w and 3250 lumens. The lights are connected to a switch and a plug with a 3a fuse using 1.5mm round cable. When I turn the lights on they don't seem anywhere near 32500 lumens, and several of the lights have a ripple effect which stops after some time. Does anyone know why the lights wouldn't be particularly bright? Any advice is much appreciated thanks.
