True this is only a replacement bulb so a new title might be better. But I love that you showed the 1st step in identifying what the problem is AND you answered my questions regarding whether ALL fluorescent light bulbs might flicker or dim when really only 1 is actually the problem. Plus whether a bulb can be “bad” even when it still lights a little.

How to repair a flickering fluorescent bulb=take it out and put in a new one lol. Thanks.

Thank you! Great video.

I found this to be very helpful. I had two flickering lights and bought two new ones. I replaced one and tried it but they both still flickered. I assumed I had something else wrong. It ended up being the other bulb as well or instead. Regardless after watching this video I tried the other one and now they work. Thanks.

THANKYOU!!! I was getting ready to go and get a new starter but I thought I'd check YT first....and VOILA! Changed the bulb and all is well! THANKYOU!

I have the same style light and I wanted to see how to take the panel off. Got it!
-
Thank you very much, you answered my question without even asking! again thank you!

Hi, thank you for your video. Is there a way you can show how you put the cover back on the ceiling box? I got it out, but am having a heck of a time putting it back in. Thx!

This was helpful!

Thanks. This is really helpful. I just had a new fluorescent light installed. The next day it started to flicker and I see the black end you mentioned.

Sometimes the ballast can be the main problem if there is weak or flashing light from the tubes.

This was helpful. My light just went off and when I went to take off the lens cover it came back on. It does look a little dark on the end of both bulbs. It's on but I wonder if they are on their way out.

I'm embarrassed. I bought a tombstone for the fixture. And found out that wasn't the problem alone. After putting f a brand new bulb in it was flickering. Watching this video u were right on ! New bulb had black at the one end. Replaced it and tighten up 2 of the tombstone it freaken worked ! Thank u for your video.

Flickering light is not always 99% indication that the tube is bad. It could be due to bad starter, bad ballast, loose wiring, or bad contacts. Also, having black on tube does not indicate it is dead or dying. Some of mine are like that and are 15 years old, still bright when powered. To your point, tube is always a good first "usual suspect". I test mine by substitution before running out to the box store. Homes usually use more than one light fixture with identical tube sizes.

What about you replace the tubes? It's still flickering.

@1:44, all bulbs appear to light and a second later, two more "invisible" bulbs on the very outside of the other four appear to light up!

Well guys that was some real rocket science.
