The starter does not strike after establishing the glow in the tube because it is designed to operate only during the initial phase of starting the fluorescent lamp. Once the gas in the tube ionizes and allows current to flow, the starter automatically disconnects from the circuit. This prevents it from interfering with the normal operation of the lamp, allowing the ballast to regulate the current and maintain the light output.

What happens when you open the stater from a glowing tubelight?
a tubelight consists of filaments at each of its respective ends. the function of the starter is to develop ionic discharge inside the tube to make the current flow. therefore once the tubelight is switched on and it glows. the function of the startea ceases and thus it can be removed. on removing a starter from the glowing tubelight the tubelight will continue to glow unless switched off. but once switched off the tubelight will require the starter to glow again on being switched on.
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 !
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.
How does fluorescent tube glow?
A fluorescent lamp is a glass tube containing some mercury vapor, with a phosphorescent coating on the interior surface of the tube.The mercury vapor is made to glow by using a high voltage across its electrodes that sets off an electric arc discharge in the tube. The discharge can also be described as a conducting plasma.The resulting flow of current through the mercury vapor is stable and well-controlled by an external ballast, or loading device, which consists of a high-inductance choke-coil that is connected in series with the tube.The continuing dischange glow is invisible to the human eye but it causes the phosphorescent coating on the interior surface of the tube to emit visible light.A fluorescent tube lamp works by using the fluorescence principle. It contains two filaments, one at each end of the tube, which glow to heat up the gas contained inside the tube.The inner surface of the tube is coated with compound of elements having fluorescent properties, such as phosphorus. When it was manufactured all normal air was removed from the tube. In place of the air just a small trace of a gas is put into the tube, such as mercury vapor (for a white color), carbon dioxide (for green), neon (for red color), etc.When the electrical supply is turned on, what happens is that the two filaments glow and then the contacts of the starter open. This action provides a voltage across the tube that is high enough to ionise the warmed-up gas inside the tube. This ionised gas, also called a "plasma", excites the special fluorescent coating on the inside of the tube so that it gives out visible light.Note about the need for a choke and a starterWithout a high inductance choke in series with the tube, the plasma in the tube would simply short-out the service wires. That would always cause the circuit's protective fuse to blow - or its circuit breaker to trip - to cut off the supply of current to the tube. If that happened the tube light would never be able to perform its intended purpose, which is to continue running - and giving out a continuous light - for long periods of time.The starter is a special kind of switch: its contacts are made of a metal alloy which, soon after a voltage is applied, heats up and bends, causing the switch contacts to open.So a high-inductance choke must be used in circuit with the starter and the tube for two reasons:firstly the choke generates a high voltage pulse across the tube when the starter's contacts open. That pulse causes the gas in the tube to ionise and become a low-resistance plasma andsecondly, because it is wired in series with the tube, the choke greatly reduces the current drawn by the tube once it contains the low-resistance plasma.For more information see the Related link below and the answers to the Related Questions.
Does a Philips 150cm 58 watt tube light need a starter?
yes
Does the tube light glow with out starter and choke?
it will not glow
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.
Will the tubelight glow if the starter is removed?
No, the tubelight will not glow if the starter is removed. The starter is necessary to provide the initial surge of voltage needed to ionize the gas inside the tube and establish the electric arc that produces light. Without the starter, the circuit will not be able to function properly.
Lights that glow when an electric current causes ultraviolet waves to strike a coating inside a tube are called?
fluorescent lights
What is the function of glow starter?
A glow starter is used in fluorescent lighting systems to initiate the lighting process. It works by providing a brief spark to ionize the gas within the tube, allowing current to flow and the lamp to illuminate. Once the lamp is lit, the glow starter disconnects from the circuit, enabling the fluorescent lamp to operate efficiently. This component is essential for reliable lamp ignition and helps ensure consistent lighting performance.

Can tube light golw without starter?
yes, special tube lights without starter are available which do not require a spark.
Can I use in a 70W starter in a 58W flourescent tube?
Using a 70W starter in a 58W fluorescent tube is not recommended. Starters are designed to match the wattage of the specific fluorescent tube they are used with, and mismatching can lead to inefficient operation, flickering, or even damage to the tube or starter. It's best to use a starter that is specifically rated for a 58W fluorescent tube to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Does a mass of a glow stick change when it lights?
Yes because it glows when it glows the tube expands to create space for it to glow
How tube light start by using starter?
A starter initially provides a path to complete the circuit. The tube light starts when the current flows through the ionized gas in the main tube. woodenboatusa.com
