here's a good one that has me stumped, about the above. bought a brand new fixture a couple of months ago,the rapid start type belive it's 20 watt ,two bulb. the problem is sometimes it comes on by itself sometimes not.i have changed ballasts, grounded it properly,& it still takes a notion not to work it doesn't.both ends of each bulb glow but want seem to start.but as soon as i touch the fixture it comes on.the bulbs are as close to the frame as possible.i had those $8 shoplights to work with only two wires before i got my shop wired. they never give a bit of a problem.even the ballast maker couldn't answer my problem.they even sent free replacements.but sometimes ya flip the switch & it comes right on.so i wonder what the problem coud be?
