I have a glow tube type starter that acts exactly like air thermal starters. The contacts close and for at least 15 seconds- it preheats the lamp and then it starts it up. I opened the starter to find that it was a glow tube starter.

hehe It causes problems with air thermals because glow tube starters react alot faster to power loss. A glow starter will attempt to refire the tube immediatly where as the thermal starters will take longer to respond.

Hoooowever, thermal starters will be kinder to the tubes, no blink start.

that took rather a long time to come on! that was actually about twice as long as one of the lights in my room and i thought that was slow

I love these air thermal starters , but I can't find them in Hong Kong!

I like this video, because I now know what the "air thermal" starters performed like...I would have thought that the early starters would have been more blinky, but I guess not...
