Is this a high frequency batten or HPF?

[sensible]

I have just bought what I thought was a 'high frequency' fluorescent light for the kitchen, thats what it was advertised as.

It arrived in packaging with 'HPF' on it which is 'High Power factor' which I dont think is high frequency.

I wouldn't be too bothered but it doesn't work! The picture in the description shows a starter, whereas there is nowhere in this fitting to put a starter which makes me think this is a high frequency as I didn't think high frequency has a starter?

Here is a picture of the ballast:

Have tried to upload but cant!

This is what it says:

Electronic ballast, EF-P 2x70W 220-240

In 0.59A
fn 50-60Hz
Power factor 0.98
preheat starting

My guess is it has fitting for a high frequency light (no starter), but a ballast for a HPF? So it doesn't work!

Any advice on if this is a high frequency light and if it needs a starter would be great...

If it's an electronic ballast, then it will be high frequency, and won't need a starter. It is also high power factor (0.98).

If it doesn't work, send it back.
