Fluorescent Lamps

["Ted Rosenberg" <Ted.Rosenberg-at-radioshack-dot-com> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

Hi all:
Can anyone who has had experience lighting fluorescent lamps with TCs give
me some guidelines? Do the lamps need to be grounded? Do they need to be hit
by streamers? Is there a 'field" distance that will light them?

FYI, I placed one about 5 feet from the toroid (in a garbage can) and it did
not light.
At the time I was getting multiple 24 inch streamers to air and solid 30
inch arcs to ground.
