| Re: clams under t5's sorry for the triple post but it must be said that I don't let my bulbs get old. I notice a massive reduction in visible light within the first 6 weeks. At around 6 months they seem to have another shift. Thats aftermarket good bulbs.. the stock bulbs appear to start color shifting within the first 2 months and it should be noted.. in the abcense of any scientific meters to tell me/you otherwise most stock bulbs should be considered temporary and best replaced immediately and save the stock bulbs for back ups if a bulb goes down and you need just something there tell the new bulbs arrive. |
