Review on 💡 T8 Aqueon Power Compact Fluorescent Lamp by Laura Crawford

I was delighted to find this product online as my business hours do not coincide with my local pet stores. It was hard for my fish to go off schedule so I installed them as soon as this lamp arrived. It flickered at first so I figured maybe the connection was bad and asked my brother to double check (it was originally his aquarium). The flickering stopped, but the light turned BLACK, PURPLE, and as close to NOTHING as possible. My lamp had previously lasted about 10 months and gave the perfect amount of light. I made sure to meet all specifications. and even bought the same brand, but no luck. I'm mad at the results! Yes I've read the reviews but the newer ones have been a bit promising in comparison. I even bought a "average price" lightbulb this time instead of the cheap ones. So now not only did I have to wait over a week for the bulb to get here, but it's awful and I have to buy another one. **UPDATE** The seller has responded to the defective lamp notification and is willing to cooperate.
