    Ceiling light not working all the time
    Light wouldn't work all the time. Changed fixture. Worked for two hours and stopped again. Could it be the light switch?

    Sure could. Your problem is indicative of a bad switch or a loose wire, particularly if back wired. What happens when you toggle it up and down, Does it say ON and Off? "ON/OFF" switch costs less than $1 If no markings it is a 3 way and then less than $3
