I tried bypassing them completely (and the control), and connected the light directly to the transformer secondary- got nothing. There's a member on ARF who says he has a complete Halolight setup for me, so if that falls through it's off to the sign shop.

I did think of another thing though. What if you wrapped a thin wire around the tube, like they do with xenon camera flashes. Maybe if you fed that with some RF, it would encourage the light to work? It will come on briefly if you cycle the power switch on the set, which I attribute to either voltage spikes or RF.
