San Francisco Flickering Light Repair

Question - My light fixture flickers, and sometimes it doesn't start, even though I replaced the tubes.  What should I do?

Replace The Fixture

Flickering Light RepairIf they are fluorescent lamps and you have replaced the tubes and the ends of the tubes turned dark color within a few days or weeks, it's then the ballast has gone bad.  Ballasts last about five years, ten at the most. If you just love the fixture, we can replace the ballast, if not it is better to replace the whole fixture.

Energy Efficiency

Keep in mind that a fixture with several light bulbs is less efficient than one large higher wattage lamp.

LEDs

Light Emitting Diode fixtures are the best long range energy-efficient solution, although the prices have not come down enough to make them practical in every situation.  I do recommend using LEDs is to replace the 2 inch diameter MR 16 laps.  MR 16 laps run hot and are relatively expensive, and they're not as easy replace compared to a screw in light bulbs.  If the MR16s are up high and you have to use a ladder, you might consider replacing them with LEDs.

CFLs

Compact Fluorescent Lamps are my second choice. They are usually corkscrew shaped lamps that PG&E promotes.  These CFLs are a stopgap until the LED prices come down. CFL lamps have mercury inside and they're not really that efficient.
