If
supply is all right and there is still no glow in the lamp ends, the lamp pins
may not be making a good contact at eh sockets. Try rotating the lamp to and
fro and see that it is fully home; alternatively try a lamp known to be good.
Try a spare starter. If these do not help, check with a test lamp for supply at
the lamp terminals. If there is no supply, the choke may be opening circuited
and of course a connecting lead may have come off.
Fluorescent
Lamp Disposal
The
disposal of phosphorus and mercury toxins from spent tubes can be an
environmental hazard. Governmental regulations in many areas require special
disposal of fluorescent lamps separate from general and household wastes. For
large commercial or industrial users of fluorescent lights, recycling services
are available in many nations, and may be required by regulation. In some
areas, recycling is also available to consumers.
Spent
fluorescent lamps are typically packaged prior to transport to a recycling
facility in one of three ways: boxed for bulk pickup, by using a prepaid lamp
recycling box, or crushed onsite before pickup. A fluorescent lamp crusher can
attach directly to a disposal drum and isolate the dust and mercury vapor.
