Kitchen Ceiling Light Fixtures
Kitchen Ceiling Light Fixtures
Why do only 2 of 4 new 48″ fluorescent bulbs light up in a kitchen fixture?
I have two kitchen ceiling fixtures, each holding 4 48″ bulbs. I’ve replaced all 8 with new bulbs. In one fixture only bulbs 1 and 4 will light (unless you unscrew bulb 4, then 2 and 3 will light dimly), and in the other, only bulbs 2 and 3 will light. The house is 7 years old.
Make sure the bulbs are properly in the sockets, and try putting the ones you know are good in the ones that aren’t working to make sure you didn’t get bad bulbs. Otherwise, the ballsats are probably shot.
