Fluorescent Light Troubleshooting
I have a couple of 4' lights in my shop that I turn on in the morning and they come right on. After a while, the will just go off. After another while they will just come back on for a random ammount of time. The on and off us usually anywhere from an hour or so to a couple of hours. What causes this and can I fix it or just get new fixtures. That gets costly.

Could be a bad ballast overheating and tripping a thermal safety. Do the ballast look like there is tar running out? Are the ballasts too hot to touch when they trip?

Is there a way to keep them from over heating?
