Default I hate changing DE bulbs

What should take a couple of minutes ended up being little more than an hour. Stupid clips, one in each fixture, wouldn't hold the bulbs so had to change out 2 bulb holders. Of course to do that need to pull the fixtures completely apart to route the wires. Gone through this before, hate these things.

Almost enough to make a guy switch to all T5s.

They are a pain. They do put out more light than a mogul though don't forget...

Mogul lamps are better to change out but I feel they burn out quicker, and don't give out as much light.
