A number of people have been unable to find the transformer needed for the Black Light project, so I looked around to see if I could find a fluorescent lamp driver that does not require any special components. I finally found one in Electronics Now. Here it is. It uses a normal 120 to 6V stepdown transformer in reverse to step 12V to about 350V to drive a lamp without the need to warm the filaments.

A 240V to 10V transformer will work better then the one in the parts list. The problem is that they are hard to find. This circuit can give a nasty (but not too dangerous) shock. Be careful around the output leads.

     This is the Simple Fluorescent Lamp Inverter Circuit Diagram. This inverter is very easy to construct, reliable, and even powerful enough to light up a 15W florescent tube (if you cool your transistor well). The only hard-to-find piece of this baby is the so-called yellow inverter transformer. It's a miniature high frequency transformer that has a 25mm x 20mm x 5mm ferrite core, 30 turns of primary, 15 turns of feedback, and 250 turns of secondary all concentric, wound on plastic frame than wrapped with a 'yellow' adhesive tape. If you can't find it in your local electronic shops then search for old portable rechargeble florescent lanterns since they have at least one yellow inverter. Of course you can wind a handmade transformer which would do the same but it is a very difficult task when you don't have an original to inspire and it will still need an appropriate ferrite core.

This is a Circuits of fluorescent lamp with a power of 40 Watt - The ambit works abundant like the aboriginal Strobos. except that a beaming tube is used. Thus, the beaming tube zündbereit charcoal constant, the two electrodes of the tube are continuously agent Ta1 supplied with electricity. Click To view larger | 40 Watt Fluorescent Lamps Diagram Schematics This accepted makes the two attrition affairs of the afterglow tube in, so the mercury evaporates into the tube and the electron discharge is simplified. Ta2 Returns on the rectifier “D1-D4 , the voltage of the multivibrator, the agitation abundance of the tube is amenable for. The acceleration of the AMV is with potentiometer P1 set. The beating afresh passes through R3 to T3, is amplified there and controls the bent for the triac, the administering of these alternates. If so, afresh the ambit through the tube and the balance closes and the tube can ablaze up.  The pulses of T3 additionally access via the capacitor C3 ...
