But it's not even a debatable issue.
My LED's have already outlasted any fluorescent tubes I've ever had by
at least 2 fold.
I would bet the farm that I'll get another 10 years out of them.
A safe guess would be 20.

I've never had a tube last more than 18 months without starting to fail.

My fluorescent experiences...

Business location #1, 13 years, never changed a tube

Business location #2, 16 years, never changed a tube

Current residence, 20 years, about half have been changed/replaced



Eight years ago we had all our fixtures replaced with high efficiency
fluorescent fixtures. Some are 4 light, others 6 light. So far about
25% have been replace and I'm going to order another hundred lights.
Also a half dozen ballasts have been replaced.
