Light Bulb
Why does a Flourescent light bulb not work in a hallway fixture but a regular bulb works fine?

When trying to use a flourescent light bulb in my hallway and bathroom ceiling fixtures, they will not work. I’ve tried 2 different bulbs each with 2 different brands. However regular light bulbs work fine.

Does anyone know the answer and also is there a way to get these flourescent bulbs to work in these 2 fixtures of mine since they’re the lights that seem to get left on the most?

Thanks.

Everybody could be right or wrong with this problem fluorescent lamp have ballast in them that generate the correct amount of power the turn the light on. If the ballast is bad the lamp will not work correctly

If you are not familiar with power you may need a quailed electrician to change it for you.
