The Norman Lamps FG-1E is a fluorescent glow-type starter designed for use with preheat fluorescent lamps rated 10W to 30W at 120V. It features an E17 intermediate screw base measuring 17mm in diameter, making it a direct screw-in replacement in compatible fluorescent fixtures that require this standard Japanese-style starter format. The starter measures 1.125 inches in length and 0.63 inches in diameter, and is constructed with a plastic cap for reliable insulation and secure fit. As a glow-type fluorescent starter, it functions by preheating the lamp electrodes at startup — the internal bimetallic strip responds to ionized gas, briefly closing and opening the circuit until the fluorescent tube ignites and sustains its arc. This FG-1E format is a widely recognized standard in preheat fluorescent systems and serves as a compatible replacement in a variety of commercial, industrial, and specialty lighting applications including arcade cabinets and equipment using Japanese-specification fluorescent fixtures. The compact, screw-in design allows for quick and straightforward field replacement without special tools.
