Default Failing Fluorescent Fixtures

Replace in order: bulbs, starter (be certain you match to bulb wattage),
ballast. You probably can't get a replacement ballast, so you will need to
replace the entire fixture.

om...
I have a fluorescent light fixture in my bathroom that won't fully
light up anymore. When I flick the switch, the bulbs come on to about
30% full brightness. If I leave them on for a long time (maybe a half
an hour), they eventually kick on to full brightness. Obviously the
bulbs aren't burned out. What do I need to do in order to "see the
light?"

Thanks.
