Nope. Put the starter in another unit and it worked fine.

Why are you playing with emergency lighting with no idea what you are doing?
I gasped as well Mate, just got me breath back
Sure, I know what a starter does, but 2D bulbs have an internal ballast. Yes?
?
No 2D bulbs don't have an internal ballast, you usually see them with high frequency ballasts these days but the traditional ballast and starter approach used to be common.
The starter will almost certainly be for the 2D lamp, the emergency side would normally use an electronic ballast as the battery wouldn't be able to start the tube via a starter
Okay... but logically this doesn't make sense to what I'm looking at, which is no starter and working 2D lamp.
I'll upload a pic to show you. The circular hole is where I removed the starter from. Clearly, the 2D bulb is lit.
Explanation?
