Picked up new ballast I ordered. $70. more than the one it replaces, but I like the Japanese internal electronics idea vs. Chinese.

Also picked up 8 new blue T-5's. 6 of 8 in fixture are originals, a little dim and blackened ended after 7 years. I only run that fixture for about 4 weeks a grow so they last a while.

Then ran into Home Depot for new bedroom, hallway and exterior porch lights, all flush mount LED's.

$600 shopping spree, but you need light.
Says on LED boxes they last 45 years. Not that I believe it, but I don't think I'll worry about them any time soon.
