Fluorescent starter-switch question
I do lighting as a business........35+ years........yes the starter you
mentioned will work fine. another poster says starters havent been used in decades..........they are full of crap. Lowes, Home depot, pet stores (aquarium lights) still sell this type of fixture and these are in CURRENT PRODUCTION with fixtures of this type, 4watt t-5 6watt t-5 8watt t-5 14watt t-8 14watt t-12 15watt t-8 15watt t-12 20watt t-8 20watt t-12 various pl lamps use built in glass type starters anything with 2 pins. and rarely 30watt t-8 30watt t-12 all of the above up to the 20 watt are currently available as FRESH STOCK from any decent lighting supplier. the 4' t-12 40 watt bi-pin and 5' F-90 t-17 have not been available since the mid 1970's except as special order replacements.

As of this morning, it no marcha. I suspect the starter switch, which is your glass- tube type and is pretty black inside. The problem is, I can't find any 15W starter switches at any location close to me. I can, however, cheaply and easily find a white, cylindrical starter switch that says, "13w, 30w, 40w" on it. Can I use this "13w, 30w, 40w" switch with my 15w lamp? -- Tegger |
