Why won't fluorescent shop lights start or just glimmer when the humidity is high and what can you do about it?
Chances are either the ground connection is bad, or you have the wrong type of tubes installed in it.
Shop light fixtures generally need tubes made specifically for them; a normal rapid start tube won't reliably start in it, especially when humidity is high.
Humidity being the key variable you mentioned, it can produce the intermittent operation you refer to. Check all wires in the wire nut splices carefully for for signs of oxidation. All wires and connections should have a shiny bright surface. Clean or cut back wire to find good clean strands and reconnect. Check contacts on ballasts and pins on the tubes too. Don't neglect the sockets, as they are often not tinned, and tend to go first. A little CRC 2-12 or similar electrical spray on a rag to wet the contacts will prevent future oxidation- for a while at least. If you have high humidity routinely, put a bit of silicone into the wire nuts to keep moisture out in the future.

Why do the lights go dim on your car right after a jump start?
When you jump start, at first there is only a little charge, and that charge has to go to all electronic features in your car, like the lights, radio, dash
Why won't my 2007 Chrysler pacifica won't start its cold out and the lights was left on all night?
Because you left the lights on all night. This drains the battery. Connect a battery charger and wait about 3 hours. Then the car might start. If it does not start buy a new battery or a new car whichever you prefer.battery juice is gone.
My 2005 Kia Sedona won't start the lights and radio play but it won't turn over. When you turn the key nothing happens Any suggestions?
See if the battery has water. Then see if it will jump with jumper cables. If it will start with jumper cables, your battery had enough amperage to make the lights work and the radio to play but not enough to start the car.

Can use a motion sensor with dimmable fluorescent lights?
No, motion sensors are not compatible with dimmable fluorescent lights. The fluctuating voltage from the dimming process can interfere with the motion sensor's functionality. It is recommended to use non-dimmable fluorescent lights with motion sensors for optimal performance.
Why fluorescent lamps not used on streets?
In colder climates a special ballast and lamps have to be used. These are known as cold start ballasts. The cost is much greater using fluorescent fixtures than HID fixtures and the light output is much less.
How many types of starter are there for fluorescent bulbs?
There are two main types of starters for fluorescent bulbs: preheat starters and rapid-start starters. Preheat starters are used with older-style fluorescent fixtures, while rapid-start starters are used with newer fixtures.
My friend is soon going to start his business by opening up a big plant house.What are the ways to effectively use the compact fluorescent light so that he can maintain healthy growth for his plant?
Since I know these days Havells Sylvania are manufacturing eco friendly lights, Havells lights doesn't produce heat anymore while glowing, so I think this is one of the favourable part for your requirment and yeah you Fluorescent light are safe enough for inside use.
Will a low watt transformer operate a fluorescent light bulb?
Apart from no, your question has no simple answer. Fluorescent lamps need a few kV to start them and have a 90V drop when running. All of that is provided by the "gear" needed to run a fluorescent lamp. In a compact fluorescent (CFL), the gear is inside the cap.
Why do fluorescent lights flicker 2 or 3 times before they come on?
Fluorescent lights flicker before turning on because the ballast in the fixture is supplying an initial surge of energy to start the ionization process in the gas inside the bulb. The flickering occurs as the ballast and gas inside the bulb stabilize before producing a steady light output.
What is the purpose of a fluorescent light ballast and how does it function in the operation of fluorescent lighting systems?
The purpose of a fluorescent light ballast is to regulate the electrical current flowing through the fluorescent light tubes. It provides the initial surge of electricity needed to start the light and then regulates the current to keep the light glowing steadily. The ballast also helps prevent flickering and ensures the longevity of the fluorescent tubes.
Can you put 4 - 32 watt 48 inch fluorescent lights and 8 outlets on 1 - 20 amp breaker?
It is generally not recommended to have both lights and outlets on the same circuit, as it can easily overload the circuit. It is best practice to have dedicated circuits for lighting and outlets to ensure safety and prevent tripping breakers. Consider installing a separate circuit for the fluorescent lights and another for the outlets.
