Quote from: High Intensity on February 01, 2021, 07:54:31 PM Found out a "water Tight" bin of loose incandescent lamps that was outside got flooded, so far it appears none of the bulbs are damaged, but some aluminum based bulbs are showing signs of corrosion. Given this is the 2nd time one of these bins have failed (and this one wasn't even damaged), I will no longer be using them to store things outdoors, and anything that is stored out there will be transferred to a new location indoors. Putting a tarp over the bins might work. I don't know, though.

Took down a couple Christmas trees. When I remove the lights they are checked over & any bad bulbs replaced before putting away. Replaced 6 dead LEDs tonight, and put one string aside to be thrown in my pile of junk lights...

Bought a Phillips 6500k F17T8  lamp and ran it just fine on an electronic F18T8 ballast. Also tested my new 100w merc ballast without issue.
