I went to a couctomers house to fix some overhead floressent lights that were not working in the kitchen and the bathroom, the coustomer ( 91 year old lady ) says she leaves the switches on all the time, and since the lamps were all blown out with the exception of one fixture in the kitchen and one fixture the bathroom, (with a total of three fixtures in each room) the constent voltage being applied to the non working fixtures ballasts had caused the ballasts in those fixtures to go bad which I comfirmed two and decided to change all 4 of them (The ballests were leaking like a bad electrolitic capaciter), I also lamped the fixtures with new rapid start T8 30 watt type lamps and now she has light in both rooms but the lights flicker slighly and I'm not happy with the end result and would like some feed back as to what would cause this, also I checkesd the tomb stones and read 135-140 volts AC !!!!! I also checked the voltage going into the the ballest and read 120 Volts.
Thanks in advance.
