At the time, he was actually trying to create a laser – not something that would eventually replace the incandescent bulb. You can replace a ballast or tube holder if you’re fairly familiar with wiring.Ģ Remove the tube and the cover plate that conceals the workings.56 years ago, the first working light-emitting diode was created by the GE scientist Nick Holonyak Jr. If only the ends of the tube glow, either the starter or the ballast is defective. If an old tube still flickers after it has had a chance to warm up (or after you’ve warmed up the room), rotate it a couple of times in the tube holders. Replace it or call an electrician.īrand new tubes tend to flicker, as do bulbs that are cold. The ballast is probably either the wrong type, improperly installed, or defective. If the sound seems too loud–or if you can smell electrical burning–shut off the power. Some fixtures (“A-rated”) are quieter than others, but most fluorescent lights have a slight hum. When the light alongside this medicine cabinet stopped working, replacing the bulb was all that was needed. A fluorescent light doesn’t work right when the bulb begins to fail.
