Circular Fluorescent Light Starter Socket

An old delayed start fluorescent flickers a few times before coming on as the starter delivers a burst of energy to get the tube going.

Circular fluorescent light starter socket.

A newer rapid start fixture has a ballast that supplies extra power when turned on so the light comes on immediately. Any ideas why this would happen. If the tube is circular simply unsnap it from the brackets. This circular fluorescent light fitting i have is around 4 5 years old.

A circular fluorescent differs from a straight tube only in shape. The plastic literally crumbled apart when i handled it. For some reason the starter socket not the starter itself had become very brittle. To remove a straight fluorescent tube rotate it a quarter turn in either direction and pull the tube straight down out of the sockets.
