The major components of a flourescent light are basically the lamps themselves, the wire, the ballast and the sockets.

Now that we have that out of the way. I have a light in the kitchen that flickers for a few seconds before it finally comes on. When it comes on it works fine and stays working so the lamps are fine. The wire must be fine or else it wouldn't work either.

I have adjusted the lamps in the

Now leaves the questions:

Is the ballast going bad to make it flicker?

Has anyone else had this problem or encountered anything similar?

Or does everyone just trash thier old lights and buy new?

Thanks
