12VDC Fluorescent Lamp Driver

Circuit diagram
12V DC Flourescent lamp
Part
Total Qty.
Description
Substitutions
C1 1 100uf 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
C2,C3 2 0.01uf 25V Ceramic Disc Capacitor
C4 1 0.01uf 1KV Ceramic Disc Capacitor
R1 1 1K 1/4W Resistor
R2 1 2.7K 1/4W Resistor
Q1 1 IRF510 MOSFET
U1 1 TLC555 Timer IC
T1 1 6V 300mA Transformer
LAMP 1 4W Fluorescent Lamp
MISC 1 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.
