Odd fluorescent tube goings on.

I added an edit to the post, tube diameter is up to 21.5mm so should work.

Still good to know there's more to this changing a light bulb lark than meets the eye.

To be fair, their product wording is very ambiguous as we have single and twin fittings as well as series modular, I am still unsure if they mean they are ok for series starting as every other starter I have ever used clearly states 'Series' and does not go up to 65w.

If you didn't ask for series starters then you probably will not have been sold them.

I think these are the correct ones as they suit 2ft - 18watt lamps and seem to be more suited to the lamp wattage, where as the other just say 4-65w.

Will pick a box of them up for next time.

Thanks for all your efforts.
