The electric components that fail the most(besides light bulbs)will be fluorescent light ballasts. You can usually hear a hum sound before they die. Sometimes, they will be slow turning on. Ballasts can be changed easily, but the power to the light needs to be disconnected first. There are always diagrams and instructions with the new ballasts.
