I am making an oak floor lamp with base 4' high with fluorescent tube

thus there is a grounding problem. At one point I had the top light
(conventional bulb) and bottom fluorescent light working either
together or independently of each other, but if did not last too long
before grounding problem took over. How can I have a working lamp top
and bottom consistently dependable. Thanks for any advice and help I
can get. Nick

The instant on lamps will light with a spiral of fine wire wrapped
around the whole length of the glass and grounded. Something smaller
than ~30 gauge magnet wire isn't too noticeable. Copper tape is
another option if you don't mind how it looks where the tape is - sold
for stained glass supplies.
