what happens when the supply frequency to the tube light is
reduced to 25Hz....?

Answer Posted / mohandas

The choke is designed to generate a particular amount of high voltage when the starter contact breaks the supply to the choke. This high voltage discharges through the filament and in turn ionises the gas in the fluorescent tube. However when you reduce the frequency to 25Hz the high voltage produced by the choke will reduce considerably which may be insufficient to ionise the gas and the tube may not glow.
However if the frequency is reduced when the tube is already on and working the tube will continue to glow but with less luminosity.
