[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 438629, member: 1408"] Check the date on the batteries , I think they have a 5 year life although many last longer . After a few minutes recharging the tube will at least light up for a few seconds. Its likely to be instant start emergency ballast , so no starter switch . Most of us , I think , go trial & error with these , so if batts mave passed useful life change them , if it still doesn't work then the emergency ballast has packed up . Did you check your new tube in a working fitting ... a box of new tubes can often have one dud tube. [/QUOTE]
