FLUORESCENT LAMPS - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Carrier Refrigeration uses standard fluorescent lamps in all of its applications. Standard one- and two- lamp ballast circuits are used. Replacement lamps should be purchased over the counter from a local electrical wholesaler. The table below indicates general problems that may be encountered with fluorescent lighting applications, possible causes, and corrective maintenance suggestions.
