I have a four foot fluorescent fixture in my basement that holds a pair of T8 tubes. One is bad. Should i:
-Replace just the bad one and replace the other one when it goes out, or
-Replace both at the same time under the theory that if one went bad the other one may be going out soon, also.
I know some businesses would/do replace both at once, but my understanding is that it is more because of the cost of labor than anything else.
And, truth be known, I only have a few new four foot T8 tubes remaining at home. I have decided that when other fluorescent tubes go out I will switch to LED.
