The 4-22W 110V Fluorescent Starter is a specialized ignition component designed for low-voltage applications and series-wired lighting systems. While standard South African single-tube fixtures usually operate at 230V, this 110V-rated starter is the essential "Series Starter" required when two short fluorescent tubes (such as two 2ft 18W or 20W tubes) are wired together in a series circuit to run off a single high-wattage ballast.
If your dual-tube fixture is struggling to ignite, flickering, or only one tube is lighting up, it is often a sign that your 110V starters need replacing. Engineered for a clean strike and rapid ignition, this component ensures your tubes reach full brightness quickly while protecting the ballast from unnecessary strain.
Key Features:
- Specialized 110V Rating: Specifically designed for series-circuit configurations (two lamps per ballast).
- Versatile Wattage Support: Compatible with low-wattage fluorescent tubes ranging from 4W to 22W.
- Rapid Ignition Technology: Delivers a quick, consistent strike to reduce flickering and "stuttering" during startup.
- Standard Two-Pin Fitting: Universal design fits all standard fluorescent starter sockets for a tool-free "twist-and-lock" installation.
- Enhanced Tube Protection: Prevents premature end-blackening of tubes by providing the correct pre-heating current.
- Compact & Durable: Constructed with flame-retardant materials to ensure long-term electrical safety.
- Maintenance Essential: A low-cost solution for repairing dual-tube kitchen, workshop, or office light fittings.
- Radio Interference Suppression: Built-in capacitor helps eliminate electrical noise on nearby devices.
