Does the fitting have a good ground? If not, . . .

On 09/16/05 04:09 pm Robert11 tossed the following ingredients into the
ever-growing pot of cybersoup:

Have installed a two bulb linear fluorescent fixture bought from HD as
an overhead shop light.

Have it all wired in now.

Howver, about 50% of the time, turning on the switch does not cause the
lights to light.
But, flicking the switch once or twice always gets them going.
Once on, they are perfect; no flickering.

Wired to a new wall switch I installed for that purpose.
Switch is fine, I believe.

Any thoughts on what might be the problem ?
