Question

I have a fluorescent double round tube ceiling fixture that randomly flashes a bright white light, any ideas?

Answer 1

It could be lose and might just need to be screwed back in. or you might have to replace it soon because it's on its last leg. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

If it has a separate starter on it the starter could be going bad and it is trying to start the bulb every now and then.

Or the bulb could be getting weak and the same thing happens, it thinks it is going out and tries to start it with a flash of voltage.

That is my guess.

Answer 3

i had one of these lights in my kitchen the bulbs are hard to find and not cheap . go to your local builder supply and replace with new fixture it will be cheaper in the long run.
