12:43 < Rab> I installed four of these at Jerry's last week.<br>
13:03 <@amatus> the home depot one "can operate in existing fluorescent fixtures with ballasts"<br>

13:05 < Rab> A flawed solution, for what would be an ill set of requirements.<br>

They're $45 - still a bit too expensive, but they should pay for themselves<br>
within a year or two.<br>
<br>
We have one in CCL, I think above the fermentation station. We're planning<br>
to buy more of those as the fluorescents wear out, at least until such time<br>
as we decide to swap out the light fixtures altogether...<br>

Gerard went and grabbed two modern thin fluorescent tubes, and Matthew<br>
replaced<br>
the bad one, and he said he might swap also the bad one in the fixture<br>

the laser cutter.<br>

this was done using the freestanding ladder near the upstairs fridge.<br>

are there any more working 8-foot-long fluorescent lightbulbs in omni?<br>
one of<br>
the ones in the northeast corner of sudoroom has stopped working (the<br>

of course we should migrate to another type of light in the future, but<br>
i think<br>
we should use up all the fluorescent lights before we do that.<br>
