Went to troubleshoot two 4' fluorescent fixtures (with rapid start ballasts) on the same circuit. The circuit cable has no equipment ground and as you can guess - the fixture lamps don't always come on at first unless the owners do the old scoot-your-feet-and-rub-the-lamp-trick :roll:
After looking at the building layout (which has been remodelled about a half dozen times over the years), there is not an easy way to pick up an equipment ground. Any other ways to get the lamps to start without the equipment ground?
