Also, be aware that manufacturing of 8' T12 lamps and ballasts must cease by 7/10 because they do not meet efficiency standards. They won't be making 8' T8's either. Might as well get used to the T8's now. They smoke T12's in brightness and energy use. Last longer too.

And what more you don't have to listen to the old T-12 HO's buzz at all the electronic verison is very quiet ya don't hear anything at all.
