Anyone suggest what the life expectancy of a 12" 8W fluorescent tube
should be? They seem to be lasting about 6months here with around 12hrs

Probably down the to the driver. I've found those small tubes last as well
as any other.

Maybe I'll try another unit, see if there's any improvement, though it
may be cheaper just to keep feeding the current one tubes.
