Working of the Fluorescent Tube Light:
The fluorescent lamp circuit consists of a choke, a starter, a fluorescent tube and a
frame. The length of the commonly used fluorescent tube is 100 cm; its power rating
is 40 W and 230V. The tube is filled with argon and a drop of mercury. When the
supply is switched on, the current heats the filaments and initiates emission of
electrons. After one or two seconds, the starter circuit opens and makes the choke to
induce a momentary high voltage surge across the two filaments. Ionization takes
place through argon and produces bright light

Procedures: –

1. Mark the switch and tube light location points and draw lines for wiring on the
   wooden board.
2. Place wires along the lines and fix them with the help of clips.
3. Fix the switch and tube light fitting in the marked positions.
4. Complete the wiring as per the wiring diagram.
5. Test the working of the tube light by giving electric supply to the Circuit.
