See previous post on voltage. Switches are side by side, although
curely and I did rewire them to relocate the switches from way
over by the breaker box to by the door. Maybe we crossed
something? I dont think so but I will check that first.

You may recall the previous post about a couple of my 8ft t12
fixtures flickering and not lighting fully even with new bulbs
and ballasts. So I went down and bought 4 new 4 bulb 8ft t8
fixtures. I replaced the 2 that I was having problems with and
a 3rd that had a broken tombstone. 2 of the fixtures light
right up and put out plenty of light, the 3rd the original one
that has the worst of the problems lights up 1 of the 4 bulbs,
a couple others somewhat light up, and the 4th does not seem to
light up at all, all flicker badly. What is strange is that
all 4 will fire up bright for about half a second when the
switch is first turned on the it goes back to not working. What
is also strange is there are 2 circuits and 2 sets of switch
for all lights in the shop. Most of the lights will turn on
with one switch or the other, but the 2 fixtures I replaced
plus a 3rd t12 fixture that I did not mess with but works fine
seem to turn on regardless of which switch is turned on. The 3
will stay lit until both switches are turned off. But the
fixture in question that is still giving the problems seems to
lite better with little to no flickering when one of the
switches is turned off. So what do you all think is going on
here? It is driving me nuts. The 4th fixture I will wire in
and install above the work bench. I may end up adding a couple
more to get more light on one end of the shop.

Have you checked the voltage at the troublesome light fixture?
Are the switches that you refer to side by side or in different
locations? IE - do you have a messed up 3 way switching circuit?
A lot of folks seem to have trouble wiring 3 way switches.
