replaced tube, replaced starter, replaced starter with one that works in
another fitting (can't borrow tube as it is at a customers office and they
do not know that I swapped the starter)

The fluorescent tube tries to light but does not power up completely.

The tube is 125w and the starter matches but the fitting states 'use 100w
tubes only' is that my problem?

Fitted a 100 watt tube today and it worked first time

thanks for all advice
