Been 20 years since the tubes in the laundry room were replaced, and
these new tubes flicker for about 30 seconds before becoming bright.
Is this just a slow warm-up process due to their supposed
energy-saving features, or did I get a pair of lemons? Thanks.

I've noticed this same problem with new fluorescent tubes, but had
chalked it up to the cheap fixtures the guy I was working for used.

Maybe Don Klipstein can chime in and answer this question.
