What's Inside a Fluorescent Starter

A fluorescent starter is a small, electrical device that is used to help start a fluorescent light bulb. Inside a fluorescent starter, you would typically find a small gas discharge tube, often filled with neon or argon gas, and a bimetallic strip.
When you switch on a fluorescent light, the starter is initially connected to the electrical circuit. The current passing through the starter heats up the bimetallic strip, causing it to bend and eventually make contact with both ends of the tube. This completes the circuit, allowing current to flow through the gas-filled tube.
The current passing through the gas causes it to ionize, creating a conductive path for the electricity. This ionization process also emits ultraviolet (UV) light. The UV light then strikes the phosphor coating on the inside of the fluorescent tube, causing it to fluoresce and produce visible light.
Once the bimetallic strip heats up and makes contact, it stays in that position until the light is switched off. When you turn off the light, the bimetallic strip cools down and returns to its original position, breaking the circuit and turning off the light.
