15W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Bulb Repaired

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problem: CFL bulb not glowing full way.

While salvaging old parts I have found one CFLBULB in my electronic scrap box. Just opened to see to fulfill my curiosity that is it repairable? While turning On the Bulb I found bulb is glowing halfway.

Then I started fault finding and found nothing physically damaged. After that I checked the parts one by one out of the circuit.

 

I found one High value Capacitor shorted ( Marked As 272J 1200V) which is connected in between the filament connection as marked in the below schematic diagram.

I replaced the capacitor and put “ON” the bulb and there was glow on my face yes bulb was working fine.
