Fluorescent Tube Burnout - Black Etch GE F40C50 Chroma 50 - rapidstart_12

In this video, we do something a little bit different and watch an older GE F40C50 fluorescent tube with a black etch burnout. This tube came to me in a free Metalux WN wraparound fixture that I got from an antique store, and was at end-of-life when I got it. This tube is operating on a programmed start electronic ballast in the video, so we get to see it put on a real light show!
