Pass & Seymour Legrand FS-5 Fluorescent Lamp Starter for 4-8W Lamps

The Pass & Seymour Legrand FS-5 is a reliable fluorescent lamp starter designed for use with 4W, 6W, and 8W preheat fluorescent lamps, such as F4T5, F6T5, and F8T5 types. This compact starter facilitates the initial heating of lamp filaments to enable reliable ignition, ensuring smooth operation in residential, commercial, and industrial lighting fixtures. Key features include UL listing for safety, a durable aluminum canister construction, and compatibility with standard fluorescent circuits. Benefits include easy installation, low cost, and extended lamp life by providing consistent starting performance. Compared to similar starters from competitors like Leviton or GE, the FS-5 offers superior reliability in low-wattage applications and is backed by Legrand's reputation for quality electrical products. Drawbacks may include limited compatibility to specific wattages and the need for proper circuit matching to avoid flickering or failure. Ideal for applications in under-cabinet lighting, display cases, or small fixtures where energy-efficient fluorescent lighting is required. This unit appears new in original packaging, with no visible wear, making it suitable for immediate use or resale.
