Is it really the "starter" you need ? If so, they are 50p at any electrical/hardware store... more or less universal !

i have read this a lot, but why? i just removed my cheap segment timer, after two years, it was not faulty i got a digital timer to replace it. indeed i have four segment timers lying around, all in good working order and all over two years old.
what is it about fluorescents that makes these things break? i dont think it has anything to do with the start up voltage. as, though many years ago, tubes needed a big jolt to start up. this is far from true now.
many moons ago i got a nice present from the hotel chain i worked for, when i pointed out it took the equivalent of one hours light burning to start any tube. saved the chain a fortune. but looking at recent tests, even myth busters have done it lol. modern tubes use little more to start than to run after.
