Sorry guys, I'm not checking in here regularly these days. Check me out over here.

I haven't finished this thing yet. I had a couple of 18W fluoro ballasts around and tried to wire in the pair of 16W UVC tubes I had on hand to them- popped the ckt brkr. Don't know quite why, wired them up the same way as the cool while FLs were connected to them. Haven't had time to devote to sorting this one out.

Seeing which UV tubes have lighted would be hard in a duct, which is tucked in a difficult to reach place in my op. I could put some photocell operated nightlight circuits in the duct housing the UV tubes, photocells masked so they only see one UV tube at a time, to trigger some indicator lamps (or LEDs) to indicate if any the UV tubes has burned out. Might also be able to simplify this with some optical fibres run to the switchbox. Optical fibres would allow one to see the actual UV tube light.

Optical fibres, O ya that's the ticket
