What would b the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out after the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
Can you put a black light bulb in any fluorescent fixture?
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.
Information on CFL light bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
Where can one purchase fluorescent tubes?
Fluorescent tube lighting can be purchased at any do-it-yourself retail outlet such as Homebase. Alternatively you may purchase some online with a more varied size and colours from websites such as Amazon.
Is a fluorescent light grounded?
If you are talking about the lamp then the answer is no. If you are talking about the fluorescent fixture, it should be. It is the fixture grounding that helps the tube to ignite. because of the close proximity to the metal of the fixture. There are many occasions when the fixture will not operate, but as soon as the ground is connected the fixture operates fine.
