You have no idea what the impedance of
the supply is with that PARTICULAR fluoro.

Most supplies are a very low impedance,

Most is irrelevant with faults.


How much power would be dissipated in a faulty 'electro' to cause a
meaningful fluctuation in voltage?


Depends on the state of the supply to the fluoro.


If the mains wiring has caught fire & is providing power
through a layer of charcoal, you might be right.


Doesnt need to do anything even remotely
like that to see the fluoros flicker with a bad cap.

reams of your **** flushed where it belongs
