Fluorescent light toubles

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?

  • If it's 6ft then they special starters as do 8 ft fittings.They also made 6ft fittings in matched pairs just to make difficult (lead/lag PF correction) which often need yet another starter. You will find it difficult to find 8ft tubes but 6ft should be available in good DIY stores.
