My boyfriend lives on his sailboat. We recently tried to change a
flourescent lamp that is on a dc current.

Although there is current coming through the wires to the lamp at apprx
12 volts and the lamps works fine when hooked up directly to the
battery, we still can't get it to work when connected to the wires.
Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Short in the wires/fixture, could be a bad starter in the fixture as
well.
