I've found that slow start behavior to be beneficial in a bathroom
in the middle of the night.

I start those visits by turning on the lights next to my bed [1], so
fluorescent tubes (well, the one that still works -- I suspect a
ballast problem [2]) that turn on at once are no problem.

That I feel the need to do this is an indication of how my night
vision has declined over the decades. But at least I don't bump into
the furniture!

[1] This is the one with two 60W incandescent bulbs in it. It isn't
used very often. I may never need the spare bulbs I still have in the
closet.

[2] Switching bulbs doesn't change which side lights up. Switching
starters (independently of the bulbs) doesn't change which one lights
up. That leaves the ballasts. This used to happen when it got cool and
then both would light when it got warm. But the last time it went
beyond "warm" to "hot" (90-100, which is hot for Seattle), it
apparently died for the last time. If the other ballast goes out I
will summon an electrician and see if the fixture can be adapted to
LED tubes. Given their age, I have my doubts.
