"If your fluorescent light fixture is flickering and but it doesn’t quite come on all the way, it’s probably just a loose bulb, but if not it probably just needs to be replaced. But I get a lot of calls for people wanting me to replace fluorescent light fixtures, or bulbs rather, and there’s really no need. A lot of times all it takes is to turn the bulb a little bit and the fixture will come back to life. In this case, you need a new bulb, which is pretty easy to replace. All you do is turn it until the pegs at the end of each bulb line up with the bottom of the hole. And then you twist and take it out, and put the new one in. And that’s it. "
