I had an 8ft T12 tube either explode in the fixture or fall out of the fixture on Friday. Big mess, no one hurt. Since I wasn't sure the cause and the fixture was old, I decided to just replace it. Went to Home Depot and picked up an 8 ft fixture that uses 4 T5 HO tubes.

Wow, now that's bright, 20,000 lumens. Looks like I'll be replacing some other fixtures in the near future. Worth a look if you are shopping for lumens.

Perry I hear you--- we have been replacing them slowly over the last two years. I think there are only two more to go. Makes a bunch of difference.

Perry, that could be good for your kind of intricate work, too. Good choice.
