Design Questions

Can I only use one tube? If so, how? Yes, you are able to only use one tube, if you would like. When using two tubes, the tubes run in parallel from the power source, so by only wiring one tube up, it works as intended. At the moment, we do not have a bridge for just one tube, but it is in the pipeline.
