Frequently Asked Questions about Fluorescent tube replacement in Ottery St Mary
Why is my tube flickering?
Either the tube is dying or the starter is failing. We check both. Sometimes tubes just need replacing, sometimes the whole fitting needs attention. We diagnose properly.
Can you get tubes for old fittings?
Most sizes are still available, though some old formats are harder to find. If yours is obsolete, we can suggest LED replacement fittings that work with your existing wiring.
Should I switch to LED?
LED tubes use less energy and last longer. Some fit existing fittings (bypass the ballast), others need new fittings. We can advise on what works for your situation.
Can you change tubes at height?
Yes - we bring appropriate ladders and work safely at height. Those kitchen tubes above worktops or garage lights in high ceilings - we can reach them.
