I should’ve deleted the whole post cause the pictures wouldn’t post. It was 4 foot old fluorescent ballister that overheated got really hot. The light flickered giving me clue. When I took cover off it was extremely hot and scorched painted housing. I pulled guts out of fixture and replaced it with 4 foot LED retro kit. Easy to install, less weight, used less wattage, and brighter lights.
