Mine never last a year, standard fluoro tubes however last for 10 years
or
more. I know which I prefer!

The years depend on hours use per day of course but I have some that are
used a
lot of the time (hall lighting for example) and I've had several years use
from
them. Maybe around 3 years.

Which is still a hell of a lot less than I get from standard fluoro tubes.
And I think my observations are more directly comparable for my
applications.
You can use whatever works for you.
