Sometimes it's just the wire nuts and replacing them or tightening will
help. Sometimes the internal crimps corrode and fail in a most bathroom.
I had someone who put four 100w bulbs in one and that's a lot of heat and
current. Most have a 60w limit. If the bulbs are enclosed by the fixture
there may be a high temp limit switch, but I've never seen one of those in
simple light bars.
