Fix fluorescent bulbs failures

In this post we will discuss the most issues and failures related to fluorescent bulbs and how to fix it yourself

Diagnoses	Reasons	How to fix it
Bulb lights after a certain period of operation and then turn off the lights again Does not light up at all Flashing at intervals	Bulb damage because of the amount of air leakage in it, or due to corrosion priming bulb	Replace the bulb
The new bulb is flashing	The bulb is bad Starter is bad or inappropriate Trans is inappropriate Bad connection	Replace the bulb Replace the trans Check the wires and clean it from dust
Blackouts in both sides of the bulb    A dark ring on each end of the bulb	End of life lamp Wick does not radiate electrons	Replace the bulb
A dark ring in one end of the bulb	The separation of the wiring base of the bulb Disconnecting of wires connecting trans Disconnecting in one of  bulb priming	See the wires connecting the lamp base Check trans connections Replace the bulb
The new bulb flashing on short periods	Starter is inappropriate  Trans is inappropriate Combustion of trans Removing the wires connecting the lamp base High value of the voltage	Replace the starter Replace the trans Replace the trans  See the connections  Turn off the lamp until the voltage value to be returned to the normal value
The light is not normal	Lower the value of the voltage  Disconnecting of the circuit wires  The accumulation of dust on the surface of the bulb	Turn off the lamp until voltage value to be returned to the natural value Check the connecting wires Clean the outer surface of the bulb and keep it dry
Noise associated with the  operation of the bulb	Trans type is bad   Trans is not installed well on the bulb holder  High temperature of the trans because the long operating period	Replace the trans Install the trans in a good way Take into account that trans installed so that it is exposed to air in order not to result in high temperature and combustion of it
