MGJ..Hope you're enjoying your vacation..sweet finish on the C13 & Casey Jones..So nice..I put up the Casey Jones bud shot in POTM..
We'll just toss it up on the flag pole and see how she waves..see ya when you get back..
Core & GMT...I think that chart say's "Hour Of Operation (1,000's)"..
which would put that HPS at 80% Lumen output at 24,000 hours or 1000 days@ 24 hrs a day..or 2000 days @ 12 hrs/day..
Probably on a good ballast..a bulb that was started once should be brighter after a 1000 days than one that has been started 1000 times in 1000 days..
Most electrical loads last longer if they stay on, rather than shut off/on..especially lamps or motors that need a starting circuit..food for thought..
