It would be perfectly bright, then suddenly, it would go dark...then it would be bright dark bright dark bright dark bright dark... I would HIT it. And it would be fine. This occurred for about two months. But finally, the other day, I replaced the light! I now love my kitchen again!! WHAT WORD can we use for a light that is ABOUT to die?
