Is that all? I got 16 4' 2 lamp t8 fixtures in my garage. The garage is 20'X20' and it just glows compared to the neighbor's garage he has one 4' t12 strip fixture. The only reason I have that many 4' fixtures in the garage is because one job I was doing they deleted about 50 of those type fixtures and the PM told me to throw them in the garbage nope they all went home and I just finaly used the last of them up replaceing some old fixtures in my grandfathers garage.

Still remains a mystery. I was hoping someone could explain this.

Why don't you get your DMM out and see if there is any input voltage going to the ballast? Then measure the outputs to the lamps. If you have input voltage, you have a power switching problem.

If you have voltage at the ballast outputs, you have a ballast problem. If that is the case, try replacing one ballast in one fixture. If that fixture now turns off normally, then you know what you have to do..

Good luck!

If they "glow" and there is definitely no power going into or out of the ballasts, then the source is probably external (like a strong RF or EMF). Do you live near a microwave transmitter or under high tension powerlines? Other than that, I have no other explanation.
