In response to "it's a pair of bulbs. they're working together. I don't think it's a bad bulb or they'd be flickering independently, right?" by loosilu

No, one bulb can cause problems with both. It's a circuit thing.

A tell-tale sign of a legit bad bulb will be some blackening inside the glass tube at one end.

I noticed that removing one of them made both go out, so I switched them. no difference. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 20:29 1
- Definitely, one bulb will affect both. If you put the bathroom bulbs in that fixture and have the same problem, it's probably the ballast. -- nm - TWuG Aug 9, 21:12
