Fixing a Fluorescent Ceiling Light

changing a Ceiling Light Post By Branco (Guest Post) (10/29/2007) I turned the lights off and even went to the box of breakers and took the fuse out. Do I still have power or am I safe enough to proceed. RE: Fixing a Fluorescent Ceiling Light Post By leever.

I replaced the bulbs and immediately noticed that the light seemed dimmer. A couple of weeks later, I noticed that it flickered. Now it is much dimmer, Help!! RE: Fixing a Fluorescent Ceiling Light Post By Robert B. Orris (Guest Post) (03/08/2005) Where can I find information on changing a ballast? I've tried www.google.com and typed in the appropriate words. No luck! Until now, I hope!! I know it isn't the tubes. We changed them a short time back. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest changing the tubes first and see what happens; most likely that will solve your problem and it's a lot less trouble than changing the ballast. RE: Fixing a Fluorescent Ceiling Light Post By Linda (Guest Post) (08/21/2004) It is probably something called a ballast. This is a part that someone with some electrical skill can change, but it is a little more complicated than changing a bulb.
