Came home tonight to find myCFbulb on my exterior door light
flickering and barely glowing. Assumed the new bulb was bad till I got
inside to turn off the switch and found it already off.


I guess I will have to check the voltage at that outlet. How wierd.


Its hard to reach lamp is over steps


Anyone else have this happen?


I've seen it happen with regular florescent fixtures
when the neutral instead of the hot lead is switched.
I know an idiot who thinks it's better to switch the
neutral. He drinks a lot and I wont let him touch any
of my wiring. �*snicker*

TDD


I have been VERY busy but hope to look at this soon. Last nite it
wasnt flickering/ Its in a outdoor light fixture.
