Hi Guys
The fluorescent light in my kitchen is flickering badly and needs attention. The house was built in the late 80s and so it's an old light fitting made by Fitzgerald. Below are pics.
I've heard that sometimes you just need to replace the starter, the circular thing to the right of the Fitzgerald label. However, I can't move this, it won't turn or push in. Any ideas?
Otherwise I could try replacing the tube. Anyone know the correct technique for removing this on this older light fitting? It's not like the more recent ones where you twist and remove. I've tried pushing the tube into the fitting to remove, but there's not enough give and I don't want to break it. Does anyone know the correct technique?
Thanks
