No, an insulated ground wire cannot be used in place of a tinned bare ground wire. The grounding wire must have a bare tinned copper conductor to provide a proper and effective path for excess electrical currents to flow safely to ground. Using an insulated wire can create safety hazards and may not meet electrical code requirements.

Can a starter be replaced with a single pole switch?

I recently tried this. Power surges were ruining a security light over the garage. I thought it was overloading the light sensor which turned the light on at night. So I bypassed the circuit board in the light and put a light switch inside the garage. Most CFL bulbs have the starter built-in, and I thought this was the case on this security light. Not so. The circuit board was also the starter. I had to switch to a regular CFL in lieu of using the extremely bright bulbs (without starters) made for this light.
