New GE 8w T5 Dead after only 1 week! This was the tube I was using over my record deck in a Fitzgerald mini light pack. I got this tube as part of an order from CP lighting and switch it on to be greeted with orange glowing flickering cathodes! Has only done a few hours, no more than 10!

Both glowing orange? I suspect its contaminated, the brown ring an the very end of the tube proves this. if you have an electronic ballasted fitting, try it in that.

odd, ive used a fair few of these, and all lasted pretty well.. pop into asda and get yourself a asda 8w T5 Wink

Doesn't work on electronic ballasts either. Has an open circuit cathode now.

I'd complain to cp tbh. It's possible it had a slow air leak
eclipsislamps   [31 Oct, 2015 at 04:36 PM]
I agree dan

It's certainly worth a try, I am a regular customer of theirs and for that matter order the lighting for work from them also. No doubt they will try and say that I have abused it in some way. I did find a spare one I didn't realise I had in 2700K which is something.

Smash it and say it arrived broke

Sound like it leaked. I'd certainly complain, and do as Danny says if they need a photograph!
