Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
For the last couple of days the lights would flicker when I turned them on and today they failed. This is in my bathroom. i thought I'd just go to Home Depot and get 2 new 48" bulbs. That did not fix the problem, they still flickered so I wiggled them to be sure they were not loose and one of them started making a hissing crackling noise and smoking and had a horrible smell. Now I need a new fixture as I don't trust this one. I assume that the ballast has probably failed even though it was definitely the bulb that was smoking.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is LED the new standard for replacement of these fluorescent bulbs? The fixture itself is hidden so I just plan to install a new more efficient version of what I already have.
I appreciate any feedback
