Bathroom Light

Hi, my bathroom light has stopped working and am not sure what is wrong with it, however i am unsure what type of light it is and how to go about fixing or replacing it. The only label i found on it read apollo square lamp 28W 2A. It is inside a plastic casing and the tubing is similar to those of energy saving lightbulbs. At first i thought it may have been the starter motor but i bought a replacement and that was not the problem. Any suggestions ?

Try changing the tube and the starter, but make sure you get a lamp with the correct number of pins, some use four pin and some 2 , the lamp you require is a 28W 2D with the same number of pins as the old one. To remove the lamp , grip it by the centre plastuc part and pull it downwards. look on the back of the lamp for the brass contacts either 2 or 4 and buy a lamp to match . If this does not work then try looking further into it, like is there power to the light fitting. Get back to us if you need any more help
