Hi there,
I've a light fitting in my kitchen which takes a compact 4-pin fluorescent lamp (shaped a bit like a B) - see LAMP for shape
I replaced the "bulb" at the weekend because it was taking a long to light up, and because it would flicker for ages before actually lighting.
The new "bulb" worked ok for a day or so, but now it's taking yonks to light up again (actually, it seems dead already...).
Do I need to call in an electrician to have a look at the actual base of the lamp, or is there anything that I can check/change on my own without running the risk of getting electrocuted?
Thanks.
