Steve, I think the Zaon VI controller measures the light output and then adjusts the time to compensate. I don't think the light is adjusted. Can't help you much on the necessary electronics to drive a flourescent lamp.

Does anyone know where I can find out the principles of how to (electronically) control a cold light tube? I'd like to build something like the Zone VI controller for a 5x7 cold light head I got a few months ago (no, it's not for sale). I'm an electrical engineer so schematics or even a reasonably accurate description would suffice. I realize the system works by monitoring light output and comparing that to a reference voltage, what I really need to know is how to actually drive the lamp.
