Anybody got any EOL stories they want to share? Whether it be Fluorescent, Incandescent, Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, HPS, or LED... doesn't matter --
post them here. Lets have some fun.
I've got tons of EOL stories from when I was a kid, especially in school, but also at home. I'll share those stories another time.
Unfortunately I missed an EOL show just today, at Walmart, unexpectedly. One of the possible F25T8 3 footer lamps, (I think they may be 3 footers, but
I could be incorrect... they do look a tad bit shorter) in a small commercial refrigerator that holds salmon, crab meat and other seafoods, was finally
at it's EOL. Easily noticeable, since there was mercury migration. This lamp was normally much brighter... so I knew something was up.
The good end was brighter but dim, and the bad end was dimmer and definitely pink.
The end blackening was complete... and I caught it doing crazy hotspot movements, with incandescent-like filament glow, but it quickly stopped and did
nothing more. I sat there staring at it a bit to see if it would EOL, but unfortunately I didn't have much time since Walmart was set to close at 6pm
for Christmas Eve... sooo... yep. Missed EOL show. But this gave me the idea to make a thread about EOL shows on LG.
