What is the difference between a ss2 and fs2 florescent tube starter?
It sounds like it's the wrong starter and the person selling you it doesn't really know what they're on about. An FS2 starter is meant for tubes 2ft and below, I can only guess that SS2 is an own branded part number for a universal starter (FSU) which if I'm guessing right is the one you want. If it is the main kitchen light which is probably about 4ft-5ft then that's the type you want (FSU) not the FS2. If you need any more info let me know

Its possible that you could have a bad ballast too. It must be an old fixture though to still use starters, most all modern fixtures now use electronic ballasts. I'd put up a new, more efficient electronic fixture that uses T8 bulbs. No more hassle with starters and filckering lights, and save a few dollars on the electric bill.
