Thorn 4' 40w Kolor-Rite - Lit - Cracking

I put this into full-time use today, I figure I might as well get some use out of it rather than it just sitting in the collection as I've found a problem with it. Yes you've guessed it... there's a crack developing at the etch end. It's also fairly well used anyway.

You can see the crack in the picture, just above the hand written year '18' on the cap.

Let's see how long it lasts...

All of my Kolor-Rite Thorn tubes (new about 2-3 meets back) have ringed off Sad

I remember you telling me about that, not good. It's annoyingly common with these old Thorn's. I also found today an Endura made 4' 40w Osram Liteguard warm white ringed off.

Its always the nicer or rarer ones isnt it. I have to be honest though, thats the first endura ive ever heard of ringing off!

Well you say that... Also found a Chinese Crompton 36w white cracked & lost vacuum, looked like it was about to ring off lol
