{"product_id":"t8-led-tube-starter-for-fluorescent-fittings","title":"T8 LED Tube Starter for Fluorescent Fittings","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis T8 starter is a small replacement component used when fitting LED tubes into existing fluorescent batten and luminaire housings. Many legacy fluorescent fittings rely on a glow starter in series with the tube; when you swap a fluorescent T8 for an LED tube, that original starter is removed and this dummy starter is fitted in its place to bypass the old ignition circuit so the LED tube lights correctly. It does not produce any light itself, it simply completes the circuit for the new tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is moulded in white polycarbonate and measures Ø20 by 39 mm, matching the standard starter socket found in conventional T8 fittings, so it twists into place without rewiring. It suits single-ended and double-ended LED tube conversions where the fitting still has a starter holder. We also stock LED T8 tubes and complete LED battens for new installations and full fixture replacements.\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\u003ePolycarbonate\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 × 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 is this starter for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a replacement starter used when retrofitting an LED tube into an existing fluorescent T8 fitting. It bypasses the original glow-starter circuit so the LED tube operates correctly. It is not used with conventional fluorescent tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits standard T8 fittings that use a removable starter, with a Ø20 by 39 mm body that twists into the usual starter holder. Check that your fitting has a starter socket; some electronic-ballast fittings do not use one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need one per tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically one starter is fitted per LED tube position, replacing the original fluorescent starter in that holder. Refer to the LED tube's instructions, as some conversion tubes require the starter to be removed entirely rather than replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the starter produce light?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a passive component that completes the ignition circuit only; the light comes from the LED tube installed in the fitting.\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-26069-spec.pdf?v=1782144697\" 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-26069-datasheet.pdf?v=1782144697\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRange Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Kanlux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53200091087115,"sku":"26069","price":0.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/26069.jpg?v=1782144939","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/t8-led-tube-starter-for-fluorescent-fittings","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
