Unabated interest in finding innovative technical solutions to light even a burned out fluorescent lamps, and at the present time. And it gives sometimes truly amazing results.
In particular, all the more widespread method of use of the lamps daylight (LDS) who has no intact filament. For its implementation need only to assemble a simple electrical circuit (see Fig.) and to perform the most elementary condition to any electrode that is part of inside the flask was kept at least a piece of a blown filament.

With this inclusion will earn almost any LDS
In the scheme of work the throttle has the appropriate lamp power button with quick the return to the initial state and the capacitor, the capacitance of which varies a fairly wide range. The optimal value of the latter as determined by selection for LDS 40 watts, about 4 microfarads. The fluorescent lighting occurs when a short push on the power button.
The scheme is used by many and for life extension new lamps. Those who have both serviceable filament. And burn out they can't. After all, the ends of each of the filaments shorted, as it is said, tightly, " what's in there quickly deteriorate?!
