If a fluorescent light blinks is the light bulb bad or the ballast?
I have seen it both ways. Usually it is the bulb which is a few bucks. The ballast will cost more and could cost $15-$30 bucks depending on type. If you have another bulb that is working, swap it with the flicker light and see if the problem goes away. If the swapped bulb works, I always put the bad bulb in the fixture where the good bulb came from. If the bad bulb now works, you could have a seating problem with the bulb. If it flickers, replace it.

Why does a florescent light bulb ficker?
I installed spiral fluorescent light bulbs and a motion activated light switch for my kitchen light and noticed that it flickered when it was inactivated. From what I understand, the motion switch doesn't stop the current completely; it uses a small amount to run the motion sensor. That small amunt of current will build up in the flourescent bulb and discharge causing it to flicker. Fortunately, the light fixture I had held two bulbs and I simply replaced one of the two spiral fluoresent bulbs with a regular incandescent bulb and the flickering stopped. Based on that,I assume some current is still getting to yourlight bulb which is causing it to flicker.
