Rapid Start flourescent bulbs, RS

Jan 13, 2007 1 Replies

I have a flourescent light fixture (about 20 years old) that stopped working. the symptoms are like a typical old flourscent bulb--lights at both ends but remains dark in the middle. The light fixture says to only use "Rapid Start" bulbs.



I could not find any bulbs that said "Rapid Start"--are most bulbs nowadays rapid start?



I bought a new bulb that says: 34W F34T12/CW/RS/EW



Does the RS stand for Rapid Start?
