I will be keeping an eye on one of my F30T12's... a classic Sylvania F30T12, that could be going EOL soon. Sometime around 12am, the etch side of that lamp,
which had been giving off a slight pinkish hue compared to all of the other lamp endings, did a noticeable blue flash, before reverting back to the pinkish
hue state. Possible hotspot movement... it's funny because that ending barely has any blackening, just a very slight spotting that is barely even noticeable.
No "Tear Drop of Death" end blackening yet, but I expect that to change. This is on the same fixture I mentioned in my previous message, on the ballast that
I plan on changing soon. Maybe it will turn blue and stay blue/catch me off guard. :lol: I've had that happen in school before, where I was expecting a lamp
to get to the point of EOL/Tear Drop of Death, etc... but the ending turned blue and stayed that way for the rest of the school year. 
Me being a kid at the time, I was disappointed. :'-)

Removed the 4ft 2-lamp wraparound fixture from my downstairs hallway/laundry area.  It was a bit too much for the area it was being used.  In its place, I put up the Lampi Studio wraparound that was originally purchased for the laundry area back in 1999.  At some point, I'll put up a more conventional 2-bulb fixture, but I'll use this until the sheetrock is put back up.

Started installing the light in the attic of the addition.  Got the light box hung, MC cable run from the light to the switch, and the switch wired up at the access opening.  Still have to run a cable from the attic lights in the old section to get power from.
