<div dir="auto">Sometimes it's just the wire nuts and replacing them or tightening will help. Sometimes the internal crimps corrode and fail in a most bathroom.

<div dir="auto">I had someone who put four 100w bulbs in one and that's a lot of heat and current. Most have a 60w limit. If the bulbs are enclosed by the fixture there may be a high temp limit switch, but I've never seen one of those in simple light bars.

<div dir="ltr">Hi Tim
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is it a fluorescent fixture? If so it could be the ballast. It also may be the switch. I would try a meter at the switch if you have a neutral there to test it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>best,</div>

Is it possible for a fixture to fail? We have this four-bulb fixture over the mirror in one of the bathrooms. It no longer works. Bulbs are good and no breaker tripped. </div>
