One of my fluorescent light fixtures died. Thought it was the bulbs, so changed them and still doesn't work. Looking for a referral for an electrician or maybe a handy man to fix it.

Thanks, Steve

Linear fluorescent? Pretty sure can snip and bypass the ballast and switch to LED tubes.

Probably ballast, or old school starter.
Like DWC said, knock it in the head and switch to LED if you can

Changing bulbs and ballasts in older fixtures is not worth it anymore, you'll be way ahead by replacing the entire fixture with a new LED unit.

Thank you. I agree the complete fixture should be changed out. It is one of 8 fixtures. Also front lights outside garage are flickering. I don’t do electricity, hence looking for a trusted electrician here in Havasu.

Cheers, Steve
