Yes.... they are a pain to maintain. Thinking to replace all the tube lights in the house with LEDs too.

We have been changing ours out to the long-lasting ones that are energy efficient and last for several years. They cost a bit more but they also last and don't need changing every 6-8 months. That part is nice

We still use these things at home. I hope they will be broken soon. If it is blinking, it is ready to die naturally.

When they blink like that, they are so annoying. We only have one in our pantry.

It is very uncomfortable to sit in a room where the light is blinking. Do you have voltage fluctuation in your area?

I was not sitting in that room actually, but it was disturbing. I got it replaced with a new one.

I think mostly we have LED lights now but there are still some globes which blow regularly.

@Sojourn Ah sorry. I know what you mean. I always called the things (even though they're quite long) "bulbs" anyway - even though that may not be the right term for it

I have changed all the lights of my house, except those at the garage. I´ll change them to LED as soon as they are not useful any longer. Since I change to LED, my electricity bill went down

We have standard bulbs, and they are not very bright. Some fo the fluroscent bulbs at work (where I spend most of my time) are flickering BADLY and they trigger headaches in me. I hate flickering lights.
