Hi. Ive recently bought a new bulb for my lighting unit to keep on one side for when the other goes (though it shouldnt yet) but sometimes it can take me ages to get round to buying new ones. Anyway on the lighting unit I have it says weh you replace the bulb/tube you need top replace the starter button! What is that about, ive never seen started buttons and why should they be replaced with the florescent tube each time? Its a new lighter unit (3 months old)

ive never changed the starter when replacing bulbs, just when the starter wont start the bulb,

Nope it dont say that Sp where do you get them from? Ive never even touched the starter! Should I have done, I put tube in and plugged it in and then switched the on/off switch so why the hell is there a starter

There is no instructions with it

all fluorecents have a starter, u can buy replacements from lfs or hardware store just make sure its the same as what you got by taking the old one with you.
Try taking the starter out then switching your lighs on and see what happens
