OSRAM high-quality starters ST 111, ST 151, ST 171, ST 172, ST 173 and ST 191. OSRAM starters ignite every time, reliably and quickly. And they are gentle on lamps. Each starter is subjected to strict manufacturing and quality control tests. All starters have a self-extinguishing insulated casing made of Makrolon and meet the conditions laid down for protection class II. They are equipped with a special compensating capacitor (foil winding capacitor), are VDE approved and carry the ENEC and VDE marks. To ensure reliable ignition we recommend that you also replace the starter when you replace the lamp
