Hi,
I am a Scout Leader and we are having some problems with a double strip light at the HQ. The light had started to flicker on start up but would eventually light up. This got worse and now it just flickers on and off. The problem is both tubes. We started by swapping starters but no luck so then got replacement tubes, still no joy. We then assumed it was the whole light but I wanted to check the supply before I when any further.
The supply is 214VAC across L-N and L-E and negligible across E-N. This is the same on all sockets also. Is this the fault? All other strip lights in the building are OK.
An electrician?? has suggested that the flickering light is due to a power surge in the area and the strip light is not suitable and we should change the lighting for something more appropriate. I'm not sure he checked the supply.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
