Flourescent light flicker/ballast, bulbs, everything all new! - 50 replies I have four flourescent lights in my shop and a couple recently started to flicker incessantly. I replaced the bulbs and it didn’t stop so I replaced the whole unit and it still does it! Now strangely, all the flourescent lights with the 40 watt long tubes in my house flicker on and off. Perhaps my lights have swine flu? |

Woodworking apathy - 32 replies Anybody else ever get to feeling that between life, kids, work and bills woodworking is just more added stress.
