Abstract
This invention is directed to an improved low voltage fluorescent lighting system having two elongated fluorescent lamps. The invention provides an improved simple switching system which allows one or both lamps to be turned on. The improved switching system includes a high capacitance by-pass circuit parallel to one of the fluorescent lamps which, when closed, by-passes sufficient current so that the lamp in parallel will not be lit.
