Hi all,

We have Fluorescent Light Fixtures in our kitchen and has a total of 12
tubes of 3ft long at 30 watt per tube.
4 of them already out and I have replaced almost all of the other 8 tubes,
recently one or 2 of the tubes is starting
to go out. *Sometimes it turned on sometimes it doesn't. *I was thinking
would it be more economical in the long
run to replace the Fluorescent Light with "Recessed Light" and use compact
fluorescent bulbs instead?
The Fluorescent tubes are very expensive compare to compact fluorescent
bulbs. *Would this be a diy job?

You should have long life from those tubes. If you don't have a
good ground to the fixture, that can cause problems and poor quality
ballast and sockets can also cause the problem. I would start there.
