Is there a repairable part in this light, or does the whole fixture need to
be replaced?


Thanks.


Might be the ballast. Might be poor lamp sockets. Both might be found
at your box store. Check prices vs. replacing fixture, then decide.

Or the switch on the wall. Or the breaker in the basement.

One thing sure, four tubes didn't reach end of life at precisely the
same time.
