Wot-Nots Fluorescent Tube Starter (PWN490)

Description

Genuine Wot-Nots · Part no. PWN490

The Wot-Nots PWN490 is a replacement starter for household fluorescent tube fittings that use a separate plug-in starter. It fits with a push and a twist, so changing it takes seconds once the power is off. It is not a car part, but handy for garage and shed lights.

Good to know

• How do I know the starter is the fault? A tube that flickers or glows at the ends but won't light fully often has a worn-out starter; if a new starter doesn't cure it, the tube itself is worn.
• Will it fit my fitting? Only fittings with a small round plug-in starter; modern electronic fittings have none. The listing gives no wattage range, so compare with the markings on the old starter.
• Is it safe to change? Switch the fitting off at the mains first, then push the old starter in slightly, twist it and lift it out; the new one goes in the same way.

Which one?

This is the only tube starter in our bulb range; for 12V lamps, see the vehicle bulbs instead, such as the Wot-Nots PWN695 flashing LED.
