The end of the year holiday season usually signals a change in bulbs for me. This year I'm a little bit late, but close enough :-) This year I ordered another set of Phoenix 14K halides on boxing day. I had hopped to get a fresh set of T5s that weekend as well but unfortunately everyone was out of stock on the bulbs that I was looking for. I guess that contributed to my delay in swapping out the bulbs. At any rate, with all the bulbs in hand, it was finally time for the swap out!

Here are the old halides. I've noticed that the longer they are run, the more of a dark dirty haze they get on them.
Ahh, new halide goodness.
Sadly this may be the last time I ever install my beloved Phoenix halides into this fixture
And also, OMG I feel like such a geezer talking about my halide fixture..
