There are 6 shop lights in the garage, each with 4 florescent tubes. They
have all stopped working. No spectacular flashes, no burning
smell, the lights just don't come on when I flip the switch.



There is a single switch, which is a lighted one and it happily glows
orange in the dark.



All outlets work, a couple of other incandescent ligts work, and the
door openers work. Garage has its own panel but no breakers are
tripped.


Any ideas about where to start looking?



Thanks.

1. Bad switch
2. Wire broken between switch and first light
3. Lost ground. Usually they'll flash though if a ground is working.
4. Switch might have an extra wire to control the light on it and to the
fixtures - that could be broken.
