Lightbulb advice.

Hello, 

I have Bell 2d 3500k 4p fluorescent lightbulb. When I turn it on it stays on for 2 seconds then goes off. If I switch it off and back on again it happens again. 

Is this a sign of a dying light bulb? Not sure how these bulbs tend to die.

is there a separate starter that you can change? if you can't see one it'll be built in and you can't change it

I'm sorry, starter pack? What's that

I cant see any starter on the unit. In guessing it's built in

I suspect that is most likely to be an expired bulb. You can see that it is quite black at one of the ends so I think it should all work again if you just replace the bulb.

I would try a new tube but there's no guarantee it'll work, just got to try it

make sure when you buy the lamp you get a 4 pin one (they do also make a 2 pin lamp).
