First,Remove the fluorescent tube by giving it a half-turn until its pins align with the slots in the lamp sockets. When the pins are aligned, pull the tube straight down, releasing the tube from the sockets.
Second,Grasp the
fluorescent starter with your fingers and give it a 1/4 clockwise turn. Once it unseats, you can pull it straight out.
Third,Plug in the new starter and give it a 1/4 counter clockwise turn. It will snap in place.
Fluorescent fixtures are designed to support a specific types and size of fluorescent tube. A fluorescent tube is incorporated into a fluorescent lighting system which consists of two or three main components: (1) the fluorescent lamp (fluorescent bulb or tube), (2) the
fluorescent ballast, (3) the starter system. In addition, the system for a tube lamp includes a lamp holder and a switch. Depending on the particular fluorescent lighting system, the starter may be a replaceable component, a starter may not be required, or the starter function may be integrated into the ballast. The starting function may also rely on the physical design of the fixture. To retrofit a fluorescent light fixture to support an LED tube light, the ballast (and the starter if a separate one is present) must be disconnected.
