How do you carry spare lamps on your truck? This method has failure written all over it.

 

[rewire]

get a lamp recycle box and carry them in it then when full of old lamps drop it at the recycle place.

That van has alot more failures in it than just lamp storage.

You just gotta drive careful.

Why would you even carry a T12 lamp? I have not put one in in ten years. That is kind of like stocking a 100 watt A19.

I don't carry any lamps. I buy what I need at the time. I do carry a good variety ballasts.

Lol i agree. Who uses t12 lamps anymore? Convert to t8! That van needs a serious cleaning

I don't think my supply house even stocks T12 anymore.

Whaddaya mean fail? The van has obviously rolled several times, disgorging all the stored tools and materials, yet the lamps have survived intact.

I hate T12 but when all they need is a lamp that's what you do. I was just starting to clean, that's why I took the pic. Busy week.

Just change the ballast and put in t8 lamps. Energy saver

Go with metal halide. Or whatever is in the other lights. There is a difference in the color of the lamps

 

[electrical232]

Bt thats the prob. Metal halide lamp giving more billing and life n maintenance

 

[electrical232]

Less life

Some area have customers that still us T12s. Selling a ballast replacement on a working fixture doesn't make you look good.
