yeah so this will be my lighting options here have the the original CFL and so you can see
here this is the gx-24 and let's see yep it look like they are the same the g20 fours are about
1/4 inch taller on this this part of the plug so that's a gx-24 you can see the CFL has these
little tabs there's 3 different combinations of tabs on the 4 pin socket this bulb has no
tabs as you can see there's no nothing around the outside which makes this kind of a universal bulb
but you have to disable the Sallust and then I have this adapter which is also a universal
fit and I'll use that with this bulb so I can use this adapter to put in any sort of bulb and this
was the highest CRI I could find what I want to do is see if I can test the color rendering I'm
not sure I'll be able to do that but then I also want to run a temperature test with this bulb
inside the sealed enclosure and then this bulb and this bulb this one specifically says not
for sealed enclosures this one doesn't really say whether it it says it can be used in light
fixtures but it doesn't specifically say sealed or not the ceiling fan light housing is sealed
because this guy sits inside the difference is this bulb has an external ballast so the power
supply and all the heat it makes isn't sealed the bulb itself is sealed but this is again 32
watts this is eight watts so that's why I want to test all three bulbs and get an idea how hot
do the three bulbs get and I may need to drill some small ventilation holes in the housing to
use either of these two so we'll see how that goes and then the other thing I want to do is
test the light output either lumens or Lux or whatever units I can measure so I wanted
to show you my test setup here so I have the Panasonic bathroom exhaust fan and I've got
the light compartment open I've got the original CFL bulb in there for now and I've got my little
nightlight in there and this is the cover that goes over the light I guess it's also
the reflector and what I did was drilled a small hole there for a thermocouple probe and I'll put
that over the light and then I'll read that on my meter here and we'll see what kind of
temperature rise we get and then just to show you here this will be phase 2 of the project
here's the electronic ballast this is the power wire coming in for the ceiling light and night
light you can see there's a single white and two black wires the one black wire goes out here and
this goes to the night light connection the ceiling light goes in here and comes out of
the ballast as 2 blue and 2 red wires and that goes to the four pins on the CFL bulb so what
I will do after I test the CFL bulb is I'll be cutting these wires and cutting these wires and
then just joining the night light wires out here and then the fluorescent CFL wire is over here
