25-30 watt tube enough for marquee?

(1/2) > >>

megashock5:
I searched the forum and saw some posts, but no concrete info on flourescent tube wattage for behind the marquee.

I just picked up a GE brightstick33 or something like that because it had a plug (instead of direct-wire) and the fixture is 25" wide, 1" smaller than the inside dimension of the cab.

From what I can gather, it supposed to be about 33 watts of light, but it uses 25. Most of the bulbs I've seen small enough to fit are about 20 watts.

I haven't opened it yet, so I was wondering if you guys thought it would be bright enough.

thanks!

I think the stock flo in my cab is only 15w

Trimoor:
If anything it would be too bright, but you can always put paper between to diffuse it.

Yes 20W should be more than enough.

JAMMA and A.M.O.A. compliant cabinets are standardized on using F15T8 (15 watt, 18" long) fluorescent lights and have been since 1990.
