The article code BS-2 4-65W marks its working range, so it suits the common single-tube fluorescent battens and fittings that use a separate starter to strike the lamp. It works with a magnetic (switch-start) ballast and is fitted by pushing it into the starter holder and turning a quarter to lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plastic body measures Ø20.5 x 39 mm in white, matching the standard starter format found on most fluorescent fittings. It is a passive part that helps preheat and ignite the tube, and it is replaced rather than repaired when a tube is slow to strike or flickers on start-up. We also stock LED tubes and LED batten fittings if you are moving away from fluorescent altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ20.5 × 39 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does this starter fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits standard fluorescent T8 fittings using a separate starter, covering tubes rated from 4 to 65W.

Most LED tube conversions need the starter removed or swapped for an LED starter supplied with the tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it the standard starter size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The plastic body measures Ø20.5 x 39 mm, the common format used across most fluorescent fittings, so it drops into a standard starter holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/kanlux-7181-spec.pdf?v=1782144728\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/kanlux-7181-datasheet.pdf?v=1782144728\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRange Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Kanlux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53200100131083,"sku":"7181","price":0.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/7181.jpg?v=1782144992","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/fluorescent-starter-4-65w-for-t8-tube-fittings","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
