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?
I hope that my mate has still got some 6 foot tubes in his stock room however the tube in my kitchen light seems to be behaving itself again now the only thing I did to it was to take out the starter and refit it maybe that was enough. Normcall what do you mean about matched pairs are you referring to the twin tube fittings with a capacitor in series with one tube or something else? I know that in years gone by there have been some interesting circuit arrangement in use
