Fluorescent Tube Burnout Extreme! Total Meltdown!

Fluorescent tube literally melting with flames at 12,000 volts! Music:    • Fluorescent tube burnout extreme backgroun...   At about 2:00 the tube loses vacuum but at 12kv the arc can still be maintained and this causes the power going through the lamp to rise significantly and heat it up a lot. This begins heating the glass to the point that it becomes conductive which then allows the current to flow through it like a resistor thus melting the glass! ( 2:24 )
