If the sandpaper doesn't work, AND your husband is comfortable doing
this open up the fixture and check the internal connections. Each
socket has 2 wires connecting to the hot and neutral coming into the
fixture and its likely that one of these connections is loose.
CAUTION: Unless he knows EXACTLY what he is doing, open the fixture and
work inside only with the circut breaker feeding the fixture OFF.
