I was in the garage and notice one of my workshop lights had one tube out.
Having one working arm and a bad shoulder (another story) makes it rather difficult to change tubes (twice) but I managed and it was still not working
I managed to replace it with a LED fixture I bought for this day (again hard with one working arm)
I salvaged the T12 bulbs and tossed the cheap fixture in the trash (OK, I cut off and saved the power cord).
I now have 7 or 8 T12 bulbs in the spare bulb bin
but originally I had 6 T12 fixtures (probably around 2003) and now it appears I'm down to one working fixture...
I have two LED and three T8 and one T12 left as I've replaced them over the years.
It appears that the cheapo T12 fixtures are way outlasted by the bulbs.
I figure I'll burn out the last T12 fixture before I use up the T12 bulbs.
Does anyone actually use T12 anymore or are they all gone? I was thinking of posting and giving away free T12 bulbs in the local internet news, but then maybe no one uses them anymore..
