First Bulbs

[calli]

Just wondering I got a T5 Light fixture from Current USA. The unit is maybe 3 months old. One of the White bulbs have already burnt out is this common?

nope should last for 1 yr or more

could have been banged around in shipping or just a bad bulb

I agree probably just a bad bulb.
Are the bulbs covered in this fixture--if not salt spray and salt creep can sap the longevity of bulbs

yeah they are covered... I am going to see if Big Al's will trade it up.. as it is only 3 months old.
