G E Lighting 64820 Fluorescent Starter 2 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 64820 is a fluorescent starter designed for use with 22-watt and 25-watt preheat fluorescent lamps. Sold as a 2-pack under the model designation FS-25-C/TP, this starter initiates the arc in preheat-type fluorescent circuits by providing a brief current surge to heat the lamp cathodes before full operation. Electricians and lighting maintenance technicians install these starters in preheat fluorescent fixtures as part of routine lamp servicing or when lamps exhibit flickering and failure to strike. The unit weighs 2 pounds per package and is sold in a package quantity of 6 units.

This starter is suited for residential and light commercial preheat fluorescent lighting applications. Typical install scenarios include older fluorescent fixtures in garages, workshops, utility spaces, and commercial buildings that still use preheat-style ballast circuits requiring a dedicated starter socket. Each package contains 2 starters, making it a practical option for service calls where multiple fixtures may need attention.

Key Features

• Compatible with 22W and 25W preheat fluorescent lamps
• 2-pack configuration reduces per-unit cost on multi-fixture service calls
• FS-25-C/TP designation for direct identification and cross-referencing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22-watt and 25-watt preheat-type fluorescent lamps in fixtures equipped with a starter socket and preheat ballast.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified electrician or trained lighting maintenance technician. Always de-energize the fixture at the circuit breaker before removing or installing a fluorescent starter. The starter inserts directly into the dedicated starter socket on the fixture — rotate to lock per the socket design. Do not attempt to use this starter in rapid-start or instant-start fluorescent circuits, as those circuit types do not use starters.
