Re: NFC: light bulbs and tannins



I dont know what brand walmart and sears stock, but
have bought from both and maybe one out of ten has a
problem after awhile, but at 8-9 bucks I'm not
complaining, the ballasts have lasted generally a year
or more. some much more.these are the 48" double 40
watt ones.
