No, sadly in this age of 'LED is amazing and does everything and lasts for ever and.....' not surprising at all. What is surprising is that T12 manufacturing has gone on for quite as long as it has there, not something we've had here for a while now. Despite the MANY failings of LED, in a decade, it'll be the only form of lighting anyone knows (unless something comes along in turn to replace it). Other than us collectors, no-one will know what any of this older, decent, reliable stuff even is in a few decades.
Bad choices make good stories!
