flourescent tube starter problem

[Farside]

This time around it might just be a one-off dodgy starter. Try another one, or a different make.

what I normally do at work changing a load of tubes and starters is replace the lot and if I have any bother with any take a tube and starter out of a n existing fitting u know works ok and try them in. if it works its a faulty new starter or tube if still giving bother its the fitting as said above some makes of starter don't always work

It might be related to the weather, florescent tubes don't like the cold. I had one in the garage & in the winter it would take ages to start. I cured it by fitting an electronic starter & I've used nothing else since.

Read the reviews, they tally with my experience! More reliable & covers a wider range of tube sizes!

Worked ok BUT now there is a very annoying flicker rather than flashing on and off. Take the starter out light is nice and stable.

NEVER SATISFIED
Mind you Flinka can be annoying especially when he takes a poop on the lawn

------------------dont blame ME -----------you wanted a STABLE light.
