Using your multimeter, set it to the resistance setting (usually represented by the Ω symbol). This process measures electrical resistance to determine if the tube has suffered an internal failure before replacing the bulb or investigating the ballast. Instead of purchasing a new tube only to discover the ballast was the real culprit, you can perform a quick, precise check. To test a fluorescent light bulb, observe any of the following: flickering light, low brightness, buzzing sound, delayed start, and fading color and light variation. Turn off the power to the circuit that powers the fixture and keep the leads steady to ensure accurate readings.
