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?
One thing I have only use remembered is that curiously in the USA they seem to use series capacitors in there fluorescent fittings which seems odd given that florrys for 110 volt mains don't have a choke as such it's an auto transformer so why the series cap??
