We have at church an organ light with single tube... when you push button in and hold, it starts the light... releasing it, it lights... push again and its off. It's 3 wires... I cannot find this switch at Lowe's or home depot... or even electric shops... anyone have an idea where I can buy one online? Thanks! Todd

It should be 4 wires. Here is a wiring diagram.

Fluorescent Lamps, Ballasts, and Fixtures (http://members.misty.com/don/f-lamp.html#wd0)

A Leviton #9382 should work.

The Blues are probably the push side and blacks are the on/off side.

It looks as if it's discontinued, but I did find this reference:

Leviton (http://www.4.midlightelectric.com/acatalog/Leviton109386.html)

If there is room, you could mount an electronic ballast and eliminate the push to start switch.

e.g. 4-Pin 2D / Butterfly CF Ballasts: Light Bulbs Etc, Inc. (http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page/001/CTGY/BAButterfly)

But would need to know length, tube and possible mounting info.

I have two such lamps. One is an old aquarium lamp with a wall wart kind of ballast. The other is a desk lamp, probably similar to what you have which has a very small ballast in the base. Both are about ~16" long, I guess.

Thanks for the info! There is no room for a ballast in the fixture, as the ballast currently there is on the cord before it goes in the lamp... I am going to try to find a switch on EBay... there has to be one out there! At leaqst I have a switch number to look for! Todd

I was able to find a company that sells the same type of switch for $18.95. The only one I could find besides the "Leviton 9382".
Here's the link: http://www.antiquegasstoves.com/pages/parts/elec.html The part is the AGS05 - Fluorescent light switch

Price has doubled ($43.95 with shipping), but they still have it. They accept Paypal as payment. More than I gave for the lamp, but I want it fixed. Whattaryagonnado?Thanks.
