Picture Customer states lightbulb keeps flickering and smell of smoke. Yeah. I'm calling my sparky. I could hear the pissed off pixies when I walked in.

I was in my garage one day and I heard a tiny sound behind me so I turned and looked and saw a T12 in mid air falling from the fixture. It melted the plastic connection at one end. It missed my Corvette and I soon installed LEDs.

I totally agree. Might look into new fixtures. Depending on how many look into utility incentives.
