{"product_id":"fluorescent-tube-starter-4-22w","title":"Fluorescent Tube Starter 4-22W","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecoded from the BS-1 article code, this is a glow starter for legacy fluorescent fittings rated across the 4 to 22W tube range. It plugs into the starter holder on a switch-start fluorescent luminaire and provides the initial pulse that strikes the tube, after which the circuit settles to its running state. The compact white plastic body measures just Ø20.5 by 39 mm, so it drops straight into a standard starter socket. It is a passive replacement part for keeping an existing fluorescent fitting in service, not a lit component in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a fluorescent tube flickers on start-up or fails to strike, the starter is usually the first part to replace. This unit suits batten, surface and recessed fluorescent fittings using 4W up to 22W tubes. We also stock LED tubes and LED battens for those looking to retire fluorescent gear and move to a maintenance-light upgrade.\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 fittings does this starter fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits switch-start fluorescent fittings using tubes rated from 4W to 22W.

Replacing it is usually the quickest fix before considering the tube or ballast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this with an LED tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a starter for legacy fluorescent tubes only.
