hi my name is Robert heard an owner of
West Oak style and today we're going to
show you how to repair a flickering
fluorescent light okay so when you have
a flickering fluorescent light 99% of
the time it's because one of the lights
is about to burn down and so what you're
going to need to do is you're going to
need to get up on your ladder and remove
the cover so you can get to the
fluorescent tubes once you get to the
fluorescent tubes what you want to do is
look for the one that looks burned out
to replace it if there is some light you
may only need to replace one two three
or four depending on how many
fluorescent tubes are in your light in
this particular light we have four so I
guess right now what we'll do is we will
go ahead and pull the cover so we can
see what's going on so we'll go ahead
and lift this cover up right now what I
can see is that this particular bulb
over here there's a black spot on it
which usually means it's on the way out
or burning out so what I'm going to do
is remove this particular bulb first so
that we can find out if this is the one
that is causing our flicker now that
I've set the bulb down aside I'm going
to grab a new bulb which I have here and
I'm going to put that in you want to
make sure you get those little prongs
lined up if you do you'll see those
slips right into position once you've
got it into position you go ahead and
turn it now once it's clicked into place
we will go ahead and turn the light on
okay now we've just turned our lights on
we can see that all the bulbs are
looking good and there's no more
flickering so now we have just corrected
our flickering fluorescent light with a
new fluorescent bulb
I'm Robert or dan with West Oak style
and we have just replayed our flickering
fluorescent light
