I just bought this the other day. Although one piece has been taken out from the back, it is a new, unused item. I bought this at Cainz Home when the light bulb at my house stopped working, but it turned out the cause was not the glow starter, so I no longer need this. I only inserted it once and then removed it. Panasonic FG-1EL glow starter, pack of 2, compatible with 10-30W light bulbs. - Brand: Panasonic - Model Name: FG-1EL - Type: Glow Starter - Quantity: Pack of 2 - Compatible Bulb Sizes: 10-30W Thank you for looking.
