    emergency lighting

    Got my hands on a emergency light today I wired it up, thinking it could come in handy when I have got to get in lofts, turned it on and the fluorescent tube blinks then go's off when I turn the power off the emergency light works perfect, could it be a faulty ballast ? I'm a qualified electrician
