Description: Fluorescent starters are, as its name suggests, help start the lamp to illuminate. It is a small tube that features a bimetal strip. When there is power, the starter will conduct and draw power from the ballast and tube heaters. The starter's bimetal will then heat up, signaling for the ballast to send a high-voltage pulse. Brand-new fluorescent starter replacements are included in MRO Supply's large online catalog of industrial equipment and lighting systems. Our starters are from Hubbell Wiring and SquareD. Both of which are leading lighting manufacturers in the industry. For other equipment needs, you can browse our website or get in touch with us via telephone or email.
