Hello fellow forum members,
I've finally purchased my first CCFL and on the whole am quite happy with it. The only issue I have with it is that occasionally, the lamp dims and brightens again, sort of like a normal flourescent bulb that's about to die. I'm wondering if I was sent a defective lamp, or if interference from my computer could cause something like this. I've searched on Google, AnandTech forums, as well as the forums of other tech-sites, but nobody else mentions having this problem. I like leaving my light on constantly, and it is quite annoying when it dims and lights up again (almost like flashing). If anyone else has this problem or has heard of it, please give me some insight. I'm wondering if this is a common occurence with CCFLs. Thanks everyone!!

P.S. I forgot to mention that sometimes, just sometimes, the dimming and brightening will occur when I move the scroll wheel on my mouse. Weird!
