Found it! Flourescent Starter FS-U 4-30 W 120V

[robotgreg]

I'm after a replacement starter for the light tube in X-men as the light is not coming on properly and have narrowed it down to a faulty starter; tube is fine.

Looked around and can only find the 120V starter from US.

So:
- does anyone know where else I can get the starter from (UK ideally!) OR
- can I use a 240V starter instead as found one of those easily?

Thanks
Greg

Maybe try aquarium stockists -most have a fluorescent light for the tanks. They may be able to get you one, or at least advise on voltages.
