What is a good replacement for overhead fluorescent lights?
The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.
What are six main component of a fluorescent lamp tube light?
six main component of fluorescent tube light
How does 4 tube fluorescent work?
A four tube fluorescent luminaire is just 4 separate fluorescent lamp circuits in one fitting. Look up 'how things work' etc to see a fluorescent lamp circuit.
Where is the starter located in a fluorescent light fixture?
When the lamp fails to ignite. Starters in fluorescent fixtures is old technology called instant start. Newer fixtures use rapid start ballasts that did away with the starter. Now new fixtures have electronic ballasts and that has done away with the old coil and tar ballasts that, when shorted out used to drip tar all over the inside of the fixture. Love new technology.
How do you fix a fluorescent ceiling light that lights up seconds after the switch is turned on?
Try moving the tube in the fittings, if this doesnt work, then you probably need a new starter motor.
How will you test starter and choke in fluorescent tube?
You can use a wire instead of the starter to test the tubes .. I did it, it works !
What would be the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.

Is tube working if you remove stater?
Fluorescent tube with a separate starter? If it's working, you can remove the starter and it will keep going. But if you turn it off, it won't start next time you turn it on.
Does a tube light glow without starter?
yes..if we replace magnetic ballast with electronic ballast...there is no need of starter if we use electronic ballast.
What is the use of starter what is present inside the starter?
A fluorescent light starter is responsible for initiating the arc in the mercury vapor inside the tube. On fluorescent tubes with filaments at each end it also provides a delay for the filaments to heat up and evaporate mercury before trying to initiate the arc. The arc is initiated by the starter first permitting current to flow through the ballast coil which builds a strong magnetic field, then suddenly the starter opens the circuit which causes the magnetic field in the ballast coil to collapse, producing a strong inductive kickback and a brief high voltage pulse across the fluorescent tube. This high voltage pulse ionizes the mercury vapor causing it to generate an arc and emit UV light. Once the arc is conducting, the fluorescent tube bypasses both the starter and the ballast coil and neither does anything while the light remains on. There are many different designs of starters that perform this same function in different ways (e.g. bimetallic thermal switch, electromagnet switch, electronic starter). In newer systems with an "electronic ballast" there is no separate starter, instead the electronic starter circuit is built directly into the ballast unit and cannot be independently replaced.
Can you use S10 in S2 starter?
An S2 starter is used when wiring 2 fluorescent tubes in series while S10 is used on a single tube

What is the working principal of a starter in a fluorescent lamp?
The electrodes at opposite ends of the fluorescent tube are also filament heaters. Upon starting, the two electrodes are connected in series through a closed switch within the starter, thus increasing the temperature of the heaters to initiate thermionic emission to ionise the gas in the tube. The starter then warms up and its contacts open, breaking the starting circuit, and the tube's electrode no longer act as heaters, but as discharge electrodes.
How do you get a starter out of a fluorescent light tube?
The starter should easily fit into the florescent fixture by sliding it into the hole and then securing it by twisting it in place. If you are having issues, you may need to check to ensure that you have the correct size starter for your florescent tube.

What is the use of starter in tube light?
Tube light requires two things to function . Very high starting voltage , and high voltage to continue the operation . The starter is a circuit which breaks at regular intervals . When you break a circuit and start again , high voltage spark takes place . This voltage is further amplified through the choke which is a transformer . Thus at the beginning the starter gives high voltage sparks . Due to this the current begins to flow through the tube and the tube begins to glow. Once the tube starts , the required voltage to sustain is quite low , which is provided by the choke .If the starter is bad the tube does not start . If the choke is bad or if the gas is low , the tube does not sustain its light .Fluorescent starters are used in several types of fluorescent lights. The starter is there to help the lamp light. When voltage is applied to the fluorescent lamp, here's what happens:The starter (which is simply a timed switch) allows current to flow through the filaments at the ends of the tube.The current causes the starter's contacts to heat up and open, thus interrupting the flow of current. The tube lights.Since the lighted fluorescent tube has a low resistance, the ballast now serves as a current limiter.When you turn on a fluorescent tube, the starter is a closed switch. The filaments at the ends of the tube are heated by electricity, and they create a cloud of electrons inside the tube. The fluorescent starter is a time-delay switch that opens after a second or two. When it opens, the voltage across the tube allows a stream of electrons to flow across the tube and ionize the mercury vapor.Without the starter, a steady stream of electrons is never created between the two filaments, and the lamp flickers. Without the ballast, the arc is a short circuit between the filaments, and this short circuit contains a lot of current. The current either vaporizes the filaments or causes the bulb to explode.
