Is there an orange stamp on the other side of the tube?

@ fluorescent lover 40 Yes it has an orange stamp. Two rows stamped: 1 04 1 1 3J26

The brighter the better.

Am I the only one thinking that daylight color is just a waste of money and tube materials? Like who the hell uses daylight tubes on their own will? Like, the color is just atrocious. Everything looks like straight from the morgue room, and everything looks as ugly as it can get. I understand daylight tubes in hospital, morgue, or public showers for hell sake, but who goes and buys daylight tubes to install them in kitchens or livingrooms? Am I the only one who thinks this way?

New lighting technologies is a pity fest everywhere you look. From LEDs that last only for two months, to a never-ending global starvation of t8 fluorescent tubes.

With permission of course (they let me! )

Quote from fluorescent lover 40 on Mar 11, 2019 at 01:19 PM Yes I do. How the hell they let you change the lights? How old are you? I am 19 and teachers really struggle to let me unscrew the flashing EOL tube from old soviet fixture, let alone taking it out. Some are more cool than others. Some don't even let me touch it, because "oooooh electricity, you will die if you touch it"

@Lightingguy1994: My elementary school almost let me change lamps too. Problem is I had to be in their church which was odd. I go to a different church though. lite_lover: 104th day, 2011.

My honest guess is there was some religious reasoning behind their decision

I guess they wanted me to be a part of their "Family" lol.

Yeah I was thinking that because churches are usually considered "gods house", you have to be in the family to make alterations to it

Though in my school right now (High School), I don't have to be part of the church which is good. He said I had to bring lamps (I have plenty.) and you can change the lamps!

Do you take the school bus? I did in highschool and I know it would have been quite the sight getting on the bus with a couple bulbs myself lol

Nope. It's a private one so your parents take you directly to school and pick you up. I've also had my fair share of looks lol carrying 10 F32T8 lamps lol.
