Crazy mercury migration in a 65w T12 It sorted itself out eventually but this strange sight occurred as I was testing my tube stash today. The tube in question is a 65w French-made Philips from the 1980s.

Could be a duff tube.. This happens when air gets sucked into the tube as it cools down after use.
