Circular fluorescent light starter socket.
For some reason the starter socket not the starter itself had become very brittle.
An old delayed start fluorescent flickers a few times before coming on as the starter delivers a burst of energy to get the tube going.
A newer rapid start fixture has a ballast that supplies extra power when turned on so the light comes on immediately.
Any ideas why this would happen.
To remove a straight fluorescent tube rotate it a quarter turn in either direction and pull the tube straight down out of the sockets.
This circular fluorescent light fitting i have is around 4 5 years old.
