A classic incandescent fixture doesn=E2=80=99t have much to go wrong. A few s=
plices, and the sockets. A newer fixture probably has some current limiting d=
evices (to keep you from putting 100 w incandescent bulbs in a fixture rated=
 for 26w cfls).  Those do fail.=20

Take it down, verify the connection is good, and that there is power. If tha=
t checks out, take the luminaire appart, and inspect it.=20
