There's enough for four libs in one hit, but only one inverter :( It seems that RS electronics (rswww.com) have the stuff at more manageable sizes - around 20 quid - but their inverters are quite large. Their figures suggest power consumption of around 1.5W to give light at 50cd/m2 - anyone know the details of the lib fluorescent?
