of the r-zilla desert 50 series tubes, which came out supposedly like last year my friend tells me. I wouldn't have tried them if she hadn't told me she's had them for like 5 months. Anyway so after the whole business a few years ago I didn't know what happened. But I've been trying them out for a couple of months and so far so good. Nothing weird is going on, I am happy to say that I might keep buying them. Just thought I'd let you all know. I'm not sure how they are new, I think something changed with the phosphor. I'll ask then get back to you.
