    Link between N - CPC on fluorescent... what is it?

    Hello folks, I hope the picture shows ok. If it does not show, then basically there is a blue disc approx 25mm in diameter that may have a resistor or something in it. It is approx 4mm ' thick'. The blue disc is linking between neutral and earth on the fitting. Never noticed these before...

    Fluorescent fault overcurrent trip?

    4ft old style starter/ballast type fitting which when powered does nothing at all (not a flicker) but trips the 6A/30mA RCBO after maybe 3-5 secs. I didnt have my clamp meter with me when i went to see the fault but assume due to the time delay that its the overcurrent part of the RCBO rather...

    Quick Fluorescent tube?

    Hi, I've just been to both Wickes and Screwfix to get a replacement 1500mm x 36mm fluorescent tube. However, both places said that they haven't seen the 36mm tubes for a long time! Screwfix suggested to try the 26 mm tube in the fitting and see if it works as the pins are exactly the same width...

    18v at fluorescent

    Hi all, I went out to a weekend call out where the customer had had a fluorecent tube and starter replaced. Apparently the light had shone brightly for a short time and then went out. I opened up an outer piece of casing which revealed little more than a choc block. I tested for voltage and...

    4-Pin Fluorescent Issue

    Called to a house where he had a 4-pin push fit fluorescent lamp in ceiling. He said he changed bulb with brand new one but still isn't working. I teased the bulb sort of half way out and it lit up but when let go it went off again. Is there a fault with these or is there a pin you can adjust...

    I have a fluorescent light fitting in my garage operated by two way switches at each end of the garage. I wanted to install a second light on a separate switched circuit and before calling in my local electrician, I wanted to see if it was feasible to take a feed from the existing fitting to a...

    Routing cable between 2 fluorescent fittings

    I want to add a second fluorescent fitting in my garage. The wiring I require is not an issue but the routing between the two fittings is. The reason is that the integral garage has a plastered ceiling as there is a bedroom above. Although the fittings will be only about 1.5m apart, there are...

    Shop front fluorescent fittings

    The fittings operate from a time clock, some work some don't. Am I correct in thinking that these fittings don't have a starter nor a ballast? Does the time clock provide ballast in the circuit? Does anyone have any experience with these sorts of fittings? There is 240v going into the fittings...

    LED vs Fluorescent

    Hi all, I have been asked by a local community centre for some advice changing some faulty 6ft strip lights to LED. As far as I can see 6ft LED tubes are Twice as expensive as replacing a ballast and tube but half the wattage (i.e. half the running costs). does anyone have any experience with...
