Buy the bulb and see what happens of it. If it works - you have an explanation AND you have the bulb for when it burns out.JohnHenry":s9fazgd0 said:bleedingthought":s9fazgd0 said:Did you end up trying this?JohnHenry":s9fazgd0 said:I wonder if I should go buy a new T5 bulb to try in this unit. If it works, then I'll know these are in fact ordinary T5s.
Any chance it will explode?
Not yet.
I'm too cheap to spend $20 on a test bulb.
However, I'm still using this T5, and it works well. When a bulb burns out I'll buy another and see what happens.
