Yes but I think I have an idea as to why. I’m a mechanic by trade so my day is making sure everything is within spec or functioning properly. In the woods everything is chaos but it’s supposed to be; it’s novel. The solitude is a bonus.

Don’t ever tell yourself you need this job like a hole in the head.

What you have there is a goofy-ass fluorescent bulb. The tube itself is probably junk, looks like the cathode has sputtered away quite a bit, but please dispose of it properly because it contains mercury. That being said, there probably a step up transformer in there, some current regulating circuitry, and maybe a couple other goodies in there.

How dare you have an opinion I kind of agree with?
