I have a question regarding fluorescent lighting. We have a 12-year-old home that has a fluorescent light in the kitchen. We just recently replaced the fixture with a new one. The new one was installed about a month ago. We have been noticing that once after turning the switch off, approximately a minute later, there will be one or two flashes from the bulbs. We had never noticed that on the old fixture. Is this normal behavior for a fixture to do this or do we have a defective fixture? We tried changing the bulbs to see if that made a difference, but it did not. We checked the wiring and there doesn’t appear to be any burnt wiring nor have there been any burning smells.
