If your fluorescent ceiling light is humming and flickering, and there are eight generations of dead insects on the upper side of the lens, read on. 

There is nothing more energy-efficient or easier on the eyes than fluorescent lighting. We tend to take it for granted because there is such a long interval between bulb changes. 

Using a stepladder, remove and wash the lenses and change all the bulbs. If flickering continues, replace the ballast unit. They cost about $8 or $10 each and take about 20 minutes to install. Your kitchen will be brighter and your eyes will feel better.
