Last option is the ballast They are 6' fixtures with two lamps each, and the damn lamps are $75 apiece I have a nearly full case (10), so I definitely want to fix the light before I consider replacing it. And thanks to Google, I found replacement parts for both fixtures for ~$60. I'll replace the ballast and the four lampholders on the one that's failing and have the same spare parts for the other fixture should it start to go
