I have a twin 8' fittingwith 100/125 (?) tubes. One of them
is not working properly.
The tube flashes as tho' trying to 'strike', but keeps
flashing till I take out the starter.
Then it stays on.
Meanwhile the other tube functions faultlessly.
From this I assumed it was the starter that needed replacing.
yes
New starter, with correct details 8' 100/125 watts, and
still the darling light flashes away.
Can I assume the tube is OK? (On the basis that it works
without the starter in situ.)
yes
I have tried a few different starters, is there something
else that I should have a look at?
weird! Have you got a bad batch? You know the tube works ok.
The new starter I tried was a different make altogether,
translucent blue, I can see the thing flashing in its own
(smaller) way.
