How do I know if my tube light is working?
Using a multimeter will determine if the electrodes still hold conductivity. If the electrodes are not intact, the bulb will not have a current running through it. Place the probes on both pins of the tube light to get an accurate reading. If there is no reading on the multimeter, the bulbs should be replaced.
What happens when a tube light is switched on?
When the switch is ON, full voltage will come across the tube light through ballast and fluorescent lamp starter. Then gas inside the starter gets ionized due to this full voltage and heats the bimetallic strip that is caused to be bent to connect to the fixed contact. Current starts flowing through the starter.
How do fluorescent lights fail?

IMPORTANT: Flickering fluorescent tubes can cause the ballast to overheat and fail prematurely!
How do you test a tube bulb?
Set a multimeter to the ohm (Omega symbol) setting, then touch one tester probe to each of the pins at the end of the bulb. If the tester shows a reading between 0.5 and 1.2 ohms, the bulb has continuity. Repeat the test at the other end of the bulb.
How does Tubelight glow?
A fluorescent lamp, or fluorescent tube, is a low-pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor, which produces short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp to glow.
