Hi all
Hope someone can help me out. I have a bathroom mirror with a built in fluorescent tube light. It seems to work fine, but I have noticed that it 'flickers' even when switched off (it works via an integral pull cord). The flickering (like it is trying to start) is quite faint, so that it can't be seen in the daylight, only at night.
Is the problem something to do with the tube/starter/ballast/pull cord? Is there any way to establish the faulty part? I'm not very familiar with fluorescent lighting! It's a 40W tube wired as part of the upstairs lighting circuit.
Thanks
SB
