I would like to make a lamp using many small T5 fluorescent tubes (maybe 12 or 16). I would like to use a dimmable high frequency electronic control gear (not a starter and ballast). You don't seem to be able to get dimmable control gear for 6 W tubes. I was wondering if I could put four 6 W tubes in series and connect to a 14-24 W control gear? Then a 4x14-24 W control gear could power 16 6 W tubes. If the strike voltage needed would be too high then I could connect three in series instead.
