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? Dunno,
but I suspect the latter.

Interesting about the CCFLs - for a start I thought it was a typo for CFL,
but then realised that CCFLs are used in displays and last for years (mine
is nearly 8 years old but has been on for probably no more than 20,000h in
that period).
The article does seem to have a bit of trouble with its units, e.g. kW/h.
