T5 Circular Lamp failure

Sylvia Else · 2011-06-08T12:23:54+00:00

I have just had to put the third tube into the Nelson T5 circular lamp fitting in my kitchen.It's on for about 2 hours a day, which given the claimed 16,000 average life, should give me 8000 days, or 22 years of use from each tube. I'm actually getting perhaps 6 months.The most recently failed tube has visible charing of the plastic where one of the filaments is.Anyone have any experience with these?Sylvia.

You get a lot of useful info from phil, in his field he is quite knowledgeable. He is just not very nice and a bit rude.
