[QUOTE="Jason Lavoie, post: 73589, member: 159"] Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted. It's my understanding that fluorescents of any type require a bit of a kick to get started, so when you turn the ballast on there is an intentional spike and then it settles to normal voltage (that's why if you dim one that's not supposed to be dimmed, once it's on you can bring it way lower than the point at which it came on. your bulbs may be near the end of their life but another turn-on kick was enough to get them going for a bit.
