Looks like it had a good EOL , it didn't loose vacuum did it?
And how many hours did it do? With how many starts? Cuz that life seems short since they've been made since 2009
Are they F17T8?

About 4,000 hours, and it only failed because there is something seriously wrong with the ballast! and yes, it DID lose vacuum!
The video is in the forum, for some reason it censored my link!
EDIT It was made in September 2009 so it's an early one!

What's wrong with the ballast? Is it magnetic or electronic?

Or so you think! I rotated it, and it lit up normally, and then after a few minutes, put on an EOL show! Yes, there is a video LOL
