Lifespan of Arcadia bulbs

They might last that long however there is a colour shift after about 6 months, you could use the bulbs la little longer I guess.

    I have REAL issues with Arcadia T5 tubes, and fittings for that matter. I have gone through a stack of bulbs and none have lasted more than six months. They have either blown or started pulsing. For that matter, I have gone through four electronic ballasts as well. Lets see if the two new ones I have just got last any longer.

    I run the tubes for about 13 hours a day so that is only 5000 hours till I have to replace because they have blown. Normal fluros last years before blowing.
