An old timer I work with gave me a trap to copy. I also built two cheap flourescent lights with peanut butter jars, extension cords, 400 watt inverter and silicone. I am looking for some sort of better container for the bulbs and if you have any ideas let me know. Last Edited By: CaptLeeNoga 05/19/10 09:10 PM. Edited 1 time.

The armorlite sponge for insulating refrigerant lines pads the socket and a blob of silicone glues the bulb to the bottom of the glass jar. They work well and if you glue a lead saucer shaped weight to the bottom of the jar it will stand upright and sink. Frankk

I used 12 volt fluorescents (CFLS) instead of the 120 volt models so I could hook them up directly to a 12 volt battery. The 12 volt bulbs were stocked by Walmart in their RV section, but they are readily available on eBay and from several Internet sellers. By the way, I use mine for quick and portable interior lighting during power failures. All you need is a battery. Bob

Actually, NiteOwl has about 40 extra ones, he had bulbs manufactured to specs for his previous spiral CFLO Lil' Greenie venture. They are the RV 12v, green 15 watt with threads to screw into any socket. He is asking $20 per spiral lightbulb, and I have about 24+ of them in my garage, as does NiteOwl. I live in Deltona, and NiteOwl lives in Melbourne...we sell bulbs.

It was a one of a kind custom built bulb to my specs, a true 15 watt CFL greenie, 12 volt battery operated bulb with green phosphors. Right about the same time, I designed the 18 inch flouro for ISAA, that is their current standard floro light - I headed the ISAA light building parties the last 3 times. I've been building lights for quite some time, even 4 foot flouros at one point. Purchase the ledgreenie™ Pro HERE ! Designed and Built by Niteowl40 & Family
