Hi All,
Yesterday my neighbour called me round (they are quite elderly) and asked me to have a look at their fluorescent light. Its a 70w single tube 8' in length. The tube would turn on and be fine for about 30seconds. Then it would start flickering. I was sure it was the bulb as the starter got the bulb going. Once it was on I thought the starter was redundant.
So we put a new bulb in and sure enough it started flickering.
Then we replaced the starter and its been ok.
Does the tube rely on the starter all the time it's on?
Thanks for your help.
