Hi All

I quite often get asked to change fluorescent tubes in local offices & often
the starter is at fault. Since they all seem to be different makes with
different part numbers I usually take an old one to the local wholesaler to
buy them.

I'd rather keep some on the van - is there a 'universal starter' I could use
to fit all applications?

And - those bloody awful chrome plated plastic grids - I usually remove the
ceiling tile next to the light box & slide the grid aside - but sometimes
the adjacent tiles are above partitions - ant tips on removing/replacing the
little buggers?

Diffuser removal, wear surgical gloves. Push one side of diff

edge in a sort of rotating arc type sort of a way . IYSWIM
