Hi,
About 7yrs ago we re-modeled or kitchen.They installed a square shaped flouresent light fixture.
It has two round bulbs,one 32 watt,the other 22 watt.
I have replaced the bulbs,but it hesitates to light when you turn it on,and sometimes is a little dim,then if I tap it it gets brighter.
I don't see a starter on this????
What do you suggest doing to fix this?Is it something I can do myself,Iam pretty handy.Thanks

It sounds like a loose connection (probably neutral) it could either be in the fixture or a juction box. You will need to turn off the power to the light, pull it down, and check the connections. It is possible you may have to replace the fixture.
