Thanks james for providing valuble date code information
For the UK produced GE tubes for American market. I have few 17, 32, and 40 watt Trimline
Lamps from this same time period. I suspected GE was upgrading the T8 product line at the the time as T8 was primarly was made for T8 short tube Switch start lamps. And demand for HF tubes just taking off around in the mid 1990s. I give credit to Dez for helping me date this lamp. As this one appears as date of November 1994 with 8 dot date coding system.
And thank u James for providing the dating sheets.
