Fluorescent Light Fixture Grow Light
I need help with a light fixture from someone with electrical expertise/genius!!?
I have a light fixture that is less than 6 months old (closet/kitchen/hallway) that takes a 9-inch round fluorescent bulb and it quit working. I bought a new bulb and it still doesn't work. If you plug the bulb into the fixture, there is a slight glow where the plug is and if you touch the bulb the glow will grow further. This is a new fixture and I have tried 3 new bulbs (which are supposed to last for 5 years the box claims). Does anyone know what could be wrong with this fixture or if there is a way to fix it? I would rather not have to go out and buy yet another new fixture if I don't have to. Is this a possible ballast problem or something else and could it be fixable?
It could be any one of these things OP have mentioned.
If this light is only 6 months old call, write or email the mfg. If you're like me you probably don't have the receipt. Just explain the problem and I'll bet you have a new fixture sent to you within a week or so. I've done this before and it works. It beats spending your own money.
Shining a light on energy savings
Compact fluorescent bulbs use 1/4 the energy of incandescent bulbs for the same amount of light. LEDs are even more efficient, but cost more to purchase.
