This lamp has very serious problems: one bulb is totally near of the end of it´s days and the other one does not reach it´s maximum illumination. The magnetic ballast (Made on July 14, 1973) by ADVANCE is very very old and defective. It´s rapid start don´t works very well because sometimes the lamps takes 2 minutes to fire up. I don´t now why, but my grandparents did not want to change the lamp because according to them, is not needed. But does it! At night is completely dark there and the poor ballast suffer in each power up! :(
