I am trying to make a DIY UV sanitizer box but it is proving very difficult. I recently purchased Philips choke: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07BGW3ZY6/ref=olp_pro... But they have not provided any tube connector and wires with it. So how do I connect my tube light to this choke? What extra connector do I need to buy?

I think red side connections should be connected to DC adapter supply and black side 4-pin connections will connect with both ends of UV light.

Post real photos of UV light end connections and lift red, black caps from choke to see what pins are there and what connector is required

Input side is red, allowed voltage 220-240 V AC, with 0.11A input current. The black ports for output side, 2 for cathode end, 2 for anode end. 🙂🙂🙂 You gotta buy some wires for the same.

Yes that I realize. A simple wire can be connected to the choke But a simple wire cannot wrap around the tube pins, right? I will need some special connector to attach to the tube pins. What are those connectors?

i am not aware, only that’s why asking.

would/are such IEC-60320 C7 connector (IEC320) (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IEC_60320_C7_connector.jpg Figure 8 type shape) connectors compatible for use with tubelights?
as in, how (if at all) the supply from the mains would be regulated / downstep transformer?

Of-course i understood that you are talking of repurposing tge cable by cutting OFF the two-prong pin and directly attaching the wires to the choke🙂🖒
