Hello guys. I am getting ready to light my marquee but I'm concerned about how a florescent lamp being so close to the monitor or tv (I haven't decided which yet) would make it have wavy lines through it. Is this a valid concern? If not, what stops this from occuring? The reason I ask is because until I put my PC on a UPS anytime my house's kitchen lights went on my PC had wavy lines through it at various resolutions. |

It almost sound like your house is wired with too many things on one circuit. Have you tried plugging the arcade cab into a different circuit and turning those same lights on? I have a flourescent in my cab less than 6" from my monitor without any problem. |

It is a valid concern. |

Better don't try halogen-lamps, they'll get incredible hot caged in your cabinet. There are AC-filters out there which might cost about $10 -sorry, don't know how you call them in english, but I guess they would be worth a try, especially as your UPS helped, too. At least they are much cheaper. :) Probable your kitchen-lamp only produces noise and gives it back to your powercircuits. Using a different circuit might help, too. Is it an old house? They tend more to have such problems - I live in an old house, too. Luckily it all seems to work, but kitchen, living-room and bedroom are all on the same circuit here which really sucks. |
