I recently installed 60 of these 2 lamp fluorescent fixtures, each with black tubes. Also installed 20 of the same fixtures with standard white T8 tubes. Since the new install, 4 months ago, we have replaced almost all of the black tubes and 25 ballasts in those black light fixtures (standard 2 lamp open strip fixture).
None of the white tube fixtures have been affected.
now a month after replacing them, at least another 70 bulbs and 12 ballasts are out again on the black tube fixtures only.
It is in a laser tag area and a new ARCADE area with 50 new arcade games. Power for the lights and games are on the same newly installed panel. The same panel has a new roof top fed from it also.
Can anyone help me out on this as to why the black tube fixtures are going so quickly!
Power company has had no power surges either. and the main power usage for the building is not an issue either.
Thanks
Ryan
