<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Hey William:
<BR>
<BR>Had the same problem recently with fluorescent lights in my shop....two 8' tubes, one of which did not work. The ballast got so hot that the one remaining light would go out. When it cooled down, the light would come on again. Replace the hot ballast with a new one and all should be well.
