Tube or ballast on its way out?
Hi
I fitted a flourescent light fitting just over a year ago in the kitchen, which worked fine, but has recently begun to start off fairly dim, before brightening up over the course of a few minutes, although to nowhere near as bright as it used to be. It's got a circular 60w tube (360w equivalent apparently - it was very bright when I fitted it) which costs about 12GBP to replace. Before I get a new one, can anyone tell me whether these symptoms sound like it's the tube or the electronic ballast that's dying? Cheers Jason |
