Hello, I use this lamp with a T8 lamp Osram in central White. The electronic ballast is simply super, operate light switches and whoosh the tube is bright. Not like earlier concerns with the starters, where one only times waiting forever to the light. The assembly of the lamp lasts about 5 minutes, you must first make it even ran all clips. When tube replacement can be safely leave the lid hang because it stops the clip. 2 clips are in fact different and keep the lid. Here on this eighth to attach to the same side outside. All in all 5 stars plus for this luminaire
