A cardinal of bodies accept been clumsy to acquisition the agent bare for the Black Light project, so I looked about to see if I could acquisition a beaming lamp disciplinarian that does not crave any appropriate components. I assuredly begin one in Electronics Now. Here it is. It uses a accustomed 120 to 6V stepdown agent in about-face to footfall 12V to about 350V to drive a lamp after the charge to balmy the filaments.

Parts:
C1 100uf 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
C2,C3 0.01uf 25V Ceramic Disc Capacitor
C4 0.01uf 1KV Ceramic Disc Capacitor
R1 1K 1/4W Resistor
R2 2.7K 1/4W Resistor
Q1 IRF510 MOSFET
U1 TLC555 Timer IC
T1 6V 300mA Transformer
LAMP 4W Fluorescent Lamp
MISC Board, Wire, Heatsink For Q1
Notes:
1. Q1 must be installed on a heat sink.
2. A 240V to 10V transformer will work better then the one in the parts list. The problem is that they are hard to find.
3. This circuit can give a nasty (but not too dangerous) shock. Be careful around the output leads.
