We have a 5ft flourescent light in our kitchen, about a month ago the light wouldn’t turn on, just a very dim glow each end of the tube. I changed the starter first, simply because I had one to hand, that didn’t do the job so I purchased a new tube which did work but was still a little slow at switching on, there would be one or two flickers before it sprung into life - perfectly liveable with.
last week however, it has started to hum, sometimes buzz, not every time it’s switched on, maybe every third or fourth time. I can only think that it has something to do with the box of tricks that lies within the casing. I’m not sure what that’s called so don’t know how to order a new one.
can anyone tell me if my assumption is likely to be correct, and what this box is called so I can buy one. It doesn’t seem difficult to replace which just a two or three wires.
oh and where can I buy one from? I’ve looked on tlc-Direct.co.uk and screwfix, but can’t find anything on either site
