Hello All
We were running a performance of Electricidad this weekend, and our flourescent system had a little accident: somehow, electricity was allowed to free-flow from the anode to the cathode of the flourescent. This Arc blew the glass up, melted the base plastic to a slop, and then continued to burn until a 2 second burst with a fire-extinguisher put it out. Then the ballast started burning. All in all about 5 seconds of fire extinguisher use, and about 1.5 hours of fire extinguisher cleanup. All of this right before a show! Anyways, here's the picture:
Any ideas/comments, other than mis-installation of something?
Thanks guys (and gals!)
