Hello Dean,
What's the temperature inside the house? If this house has been vacant
and had the heat turned down...that is your problem. Florescents hate cool
temperatures and are very groggy then.
If the house is warm, I suggest it will probably be your Florescent
ballasts that need to be changed out by an electrician. Hope that was of
some help.
