What This Part Does

A fluorescent tube starter provides the initial voltage pulse and pre-heating cycle needed to ionise the gas inside a fluorescent tube so it can strike and light. Without a working starter, a fluorescent tube may fail to light, flicker repeatedly, or glow only at the ends.

Common Fault Symptoms

  • Tube flickering repeatedly instead of lighting fully
  • Tube glowing faintly at one or both ends without lighting
  • Slow or delayed starting
  • Tube not lighting at all
  • Clicking or buzzing from the light fitting

Description

This Eveready 4-65W fluorescent tube starter is a straightforward, dependable fix for fluorescent tubes that flicker, glow without lighting, or fail to start. Supplied as a pack of 2, it gives you a spare on hand for the next time a starter wears out, saving a repeat purchase later.

The starter fits standard bayonet-cap (BC) starter holders found in most domestic, office and light commercial fluorescent fittings, covering tubes from 4W up to 65W. It is not suitable for instant-start or electronic high-frequency ballast fittings that do not use a plug-in starter.

Safety Notice
Always isolate the light fitting from the mains electricity supply before removing or replacing the starter.
Compatibility Disclaimer
Brand names and wattage ranges are used for identification and compatibility guidance only. Please check your existing starter and fitting type before ordering.
Environmental Notice
Replacing a worn starter instead of the whole light fitting or tube helps reduce unnecessary waste.
