Sweet! Clever way to store F20s! I have five new Sylvania F40/CW lamps that are waiting to be installed in my cousin's grandparent's garage when i visit them (don't know exactly when that'll be though hopefully before the new year...) The tubes kept getting beaten up where i was storing them so now i moved them and hopefully they'll stay okay. I'll flip out if a couple lamps died since the lamps are coming out of my pocket for the fixtures. Those new Sylvania F40T12s seem very delicate. Come to think of it, i'll wrap the ends in bubble wrap. That should protect them as long as it's not too late...
