When the switch is released the light go's off. I now have this little beauty scattered around my living room looking for clues to its problem ..or mine. My question is ..on this early model is there a starter or pre start for the light or is the ballast a rapid start ? I know it isn't a ista-start as the tube has two prongs on either end .

When the light won't turn on it's usually the starter and yours is turning on. Use this part number WB2X1546
