<<Since when has Vita-Lite and Tri-Lux been available in T-8? Or are you just saying T-8 to be trendy? :)>> Haven't been "trendy" yet and don't aim to start here and now. :-) I was referring to the standard pin spacing on fl. tubes and didn't realize that T-8 means something different to the illuminati. I'm still curious about the cover glass, though. Bill Cwirla Hacienda Heights
