I'm constructing a DIY UV air purifier that uses one UVC 40W lamp. So far, I’ve purchase two UVC lamps and two ballasts but have failed to get a lamp and ballast pair that works :-(
Purely UV - UVC Germicidal Lamp PUVP0040

UVC Lamp 39 Watt GPH843T5L

KTEB-140-1-TP-EMI Ballast

Fulham WH33-120-L WorkHorse 33 Ballast

The KTEB ballast only lights the very ends of the Purely UV lamp and only makes the heating elements on the UVC lamp glow.
The WorkHorse 33 dimly lights the length of the Purely UV and does nothing on the UVC GPH843T5L lamp – even though it should be able to instant start the GPH843T5L per my understanding of the flyer below.

Ugh. What a waste of money.
I sure hope someone can help me?! Can I just go to Lowes and buy a 2x50W fluorescent ballast and wire it to start one of the lamps?
Thank you.
