My kitchen fluorescent lamp which is 6 foot 100 watt unit wouldn't light tonite the starter flickered but no sign of any tube activity. It was very cold in the kitchen so I put the boiler on which warmed things up nicely I tried the tube again and although a bit sluggish it lit ( maybe my swearing at it helped) my question is do you think it's just because the tubes old and doesn't like the cold or is there something else going on?
Thanks guys if it gives me more trouble il get a new tube for it the ends are a bit blackened so it seems likely that the tube is getting a bit past it also il try running a wire along it and earthing it to the fitting to help encourage the discharge. I don't want to go down the LED route unless I have to
