Abstract:
1. A device, comprising: a housing; a circuit disposed within the housing and configured to receive a battery supply voltage and to process the battery supply voltage for driving one or more fluorescent lamps, the circuit comprising at least one transformer and at least two capacitors; and at least three ballast outputs provided at an exterior of the housing, each ballast output being directly connected to a different electrical component of the circuit than the other ballast outputs and being configured to be selectively connected to the one or more fluorescent lamps to supply power from the circuit to the one or more fluorescent lamps, wherein each capacitor of the at least two capacitors is connected in series between the at least one transformer and a corresponding one of the at least three ballast outputs, and wherein the at least one transformer comprises one transformer, including a secondary winding having first and second ends; and wherein the at least two capacitors comprise a first capacitor having a first end connected to the first end of the secondary winding of the transformer, and having a second end; and a second capacitor having a first end connected to the first end of the secondary winding of the transformer, and having a second end; and wherein the at least three ballast outputs comprise:
