The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.
A T8 LED tube has to be used with a ballast to bring the correct voltage to the tube for it to operate correctly. Removing the ballast from the circuit will prevent the tube from operating.
0.2 amps in general by 40 wattts tube. if u want to find it than u divide watts by voltage.
Mercury is present inside the tube light.When we give supply to the tube light the mercury vapours excites and it produces uv radiation which then strikes the fluorescent material and produces light. Therefore it is called fluorescent light.
The Diaphram regulates the amount of light in the body tube
11000
The amp and bass tube should both have a label on them which indicates their power input, both in voltage and amperage. Go with those guidelines.
Starters in tube light uses capacitors to produce a momentary high voltage of 400V due to discharging of capacitor. This momentary high voltage will start the gaseous discharge to priduce light by initial flickering . now,if capacitor is not used , the power supply from the main cannot start the gaseous discharge .
Voltage x Current = Power So Power / voltage = current Now you do the math

25 thousand volts
The small cylindrical thing that You see (generally on a side of the choke coil) is the "starter " of the tube light. This is the capacitor used in tube light. And is used to provide a momentary voltage rise of nearly 400V to start up the tube light hence Starter.
ceiling fan approx 80w and tube light 40w
The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.
The choke works in conjunction with a starter . When you turn on the light , voltage is applied to the choke, and when the switch opens after a few seconds, it creates a high voltage across the contacts at each end of the tube. This starts the ionization of the gas , which glows. Once ionized, it continues producing light even when the voltage applied is only 120 VAC, the power line voltage.
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.
tube light woks like a tube light....
