Introduction
A starter is, as its name suggests, the element which "starts" a fluorescent tube. It is basically just a switch that opens and closes automatically. There are two different types of starters out there, one based on a electrical orswitch and the other on a mechanical switch. In this guide the mechanical switch is considered. It consists of a capacitor parallel to a glow lamp made of a bimetal strip (this combination makes a automatically opening and closing switch). There are three possible ways out there how such a starter can stopp working:
