Q. Can I use a CD player/burner or DVD player Diode. A. No. Only a DVD burner diode 16x or faster will work. Mad Scientists Light. *Disclaimer* This Project involves Live electrical current and wiring, although it is not too complicated, if you are nervous about such a project i suggest you skip this one, I'm not a professional electrician, and just because i didn't burn my house down and kill myself with this setup doesn't mean it can't happen to you.
Please take the proper safety precautions when working with electricity, IT CAN KILL YOU. I'm not responsible if you shock/electrocute yourself, burn your house down, burn out your eye sockets or disrupt the space time continuum. and please do not try to reproduce this project for the purpose of making money, to do so would hurt the original designer Nik Willmore whom inspired this wonderful project.* This is project to show you how to make a much more cost effective version of the tube lamp design to get you by for the meantime.
