Cool! That does look like a lightsaber. Be careful about the shortwave UV rays though. I opened up a UV air purifier once to see the lamp. My eyes burned for a full day afterward. BTW, I've never heard of a ballast being called a throttle; although that is a good description of what it does.

Yea, same here, i had to wear dark sunglasses all the next day, because my eyes were red and very sensitive to light... :S

They're called germicidal tubes. The most common size is G15T8. Same size and wattage as a regular F15T8 fluorescent. It runs on the same ballast and starter too. Just be careful of the shortwave UV. If you like the color, just get a clear mercury vapor light, if you can still find one thanks to the doofuses in Washington, DC.
