Does anyone have any input?
I had one of those giant 4-tube, 2-ballast "operating room" type of fixtures in my kitchen.
We tore it out and put some more "easy on the eyes" fixtures in the kitchen.
I stuck the old one in the garage.
2 of the tubes come on right away. The other 2 take a while. Seems like they have a mood of their own. A few times they didn't come on, one time one was on, the second one was at half strength etc.
How do you diagnose these things? Does the tube go bad slowly? Or should I be thinking ballast?
From when I was a kid I remember they used to have these little things called ignitors. They were little cylindrical things, but I can't find any of those either.
