However, these are not the best CCFL lights. Why would
this company advertise that their CCFL lamps have 2.5 to
6.6 times the lifetime of ordinary CCFL lamps?

Is it because their lamps are better, or because the ordinary CCFL
lamps have been cost reduced to produce a shorter lifetime?
It's called business.
Go to any grocery store.
Do you really believe this toothpaste gets your teeth twice as clean
as that one?
Or that your clothes will stay fresh 2X longer with this detergent?
Any claim that can't be disproved in court is a good claim.

In their zeal to get to market, it's not unusual to find that the cure
for one reliability problem introduced another. oops!

How long do you save the receipts and packaging?
Lifetime warranty is useless if you can't figger out where
to place the claim or it costs more to ship than to buy new.

With anything new, you want to reel in all the early adopters
who'll pay high prices. Product has to last until the prices
come down below shipping costs or you've changed the name on the
company nameplate.
