Nope normal F40/CW tubes with GE endcaps. They aren't blackend when they're off but when they're on they are blue-gray on the ends. I don't know if the Miser lamp was a warm white... I didn't check the etch very well i guess afterall lol. I guess i automatically assumed it was cool white... the westy had some visable blackening but didn't look EOL. She said the lamps fell over (but they didn't appear to have any physical damage on the outside) so i don't know if they work. The Miser lamp looked to have pretty low hours.
The fixtures down there are the same as the ones in the garage but the ones down there looked to be in much better shape. I doubt the miser lamp cooked the ballast since those things are pretty tough and since the Miser lamp has little blackening, it likely wasn't used long enough to really damage the ballast (though i know dead fixtures often have the tubes intentionally removed so who knows...) since you know how fast GE lamps tend to blacken...
ahh Andy the lamp killer doing his work eh? (lol just kidding). i'm debatign wether or not to spend $40 on a box of 10 Sylvania Design 50 lamps. i head they're the best F40T12 lamps on the market nowadays but 40 bucks for 10 lamps is a little steep for me. I have plenty of giftcard money for lowe's but i don't know if i want to blow most of it on 10 lamps...
Yeah i'd like to get all six of those fixtures. The three in the garage are in rougher shape and they have replacement fixtures still awaiting installation so i can get those with no penny no harm (if i can get permission, which should be easy). The three in the basement I'll need to buy replacement fixtures for and T8 lamps to go in them. I'm sure something at the restore will pop up though that i can pop in as a replacement.
For the time being, the three lights out in the garage are all still going string with the new lamps and starters. the ones in the basement all work with the lamps that they have (well i dunno about the lampless one but i have no reason to doubt it)
