Replies EmileeM14 Posted at 2:18 am on Oct. 30, 2008 listen to some music to shut out the noise... lol Brettyboy Posted at 1:26 am on Oct. 30, 2008 Quote: from berrycuda at 1:18 am on Oct. 30, 2008 Could it be a florescent light? if so it sounds like the starter or ballast and can be fixed if it's worth fixing that is. I would just live with it until it finally craps out if it were me because it more than likely isn't worth repairing. If the tube is going then it wont be the starter, Could be a faulting ballast but that would more likely buzz loudly than click. I would say if its a normal light bulb that the pins on the lamp arnt making proper conection with the light fitting and it is arcing Brawler Posted at 1:22 am on Oct. 30, 2008 Quote: from Ethryx at 1:16 am on Oct. 30, 2008 Maybe replace the bulb? this maybe, im not really sure tho. bow Posted at 1:19 am on Oct. 30, 2008 replace the bulb - maybe get it checked as it could shock u. if its clicking tis possible the little wire in the top that spans accross these two other little wires like this --> l-l is broken. berrycuda Posted at 1:18 am on Oct. 30, 2008 Could it be a florescent light? if so it sounds like the starter or ballast and can be fixed if it's worth fixing that is.

Jman19 Posted at 1:17 am on Oct. 30, 2008 That's the spring-like wire (filament) inside the bulb expanding and contracting. It's probably ready to blow out, so change the bulb. If it's too bright, you might be using a bulb that's too hot for the lamp. Thanantos Posted at 1:16 am on Oct. 30, 2008 you wont think right anymore but hey give it a try Thanantos Posted at 1:16 am on Oct. 30, 2008 you have to shock your self then you wont hear it any more Ethryx Posted at 1:16 am on Oct. 30, 2008 Maybe replace the bulb?
