My light is one of those lights that is built into the ceiling and you have to drop it out to replace it.
Any suggestions would be great Thanks.
Okay, they are on different fixtures in the ceiling and the fuse is okay because I have a fuse tester and that said it was good and there are 2 switches but both lights work on either switch in unison.
They are the bulbs which clip into a small bracket and conceal away in the ceiling and the contacts are okay on the bulb but the fixtures are rather new so I don’t think the connector which connects into the bulb is corroded.

Are the lamps low volt (12v),if so drop entire fitting by pulling down,springs holding will be tight so pull one side first,pull gently on wiring until transformer comes down,check input voltage & output voltage,if input ok but nothing on output replace with same size transformer (20vA etc).
i need more info. u said there are 2 lights on ur porch, are they in the same fixture or seperate, do they operate off 2 seperate swithches? how do u know that the fuse and switches are good what did u do 2 determine that?
There is a little spring in the bottom of the lamp socket. After years of bulbs being overtightened the spring loses it’s tension. You may be able to pull spring out a little bit where it makes contact on bulb again. Or you may have to replace socket. The spring is the flat piece of metal in the center. Don’t pull it out too far or it will break off. Oh,be sure switch is off.
Most likely you have a loose wire nut at the light that doesn’t work or feeding that light.The only other thing I can think of is a broken or partially broken wire.
What you have described must be a pair of fluorescent tubes… when they do this, at least one of them is bad and needs to be replaced, usually the one brownest or blackened at the ends…
