It happens that Andy Burns formulated :
A few years back I changed the starters on three fluoros in my garage and
shed for the electronic ones, two of the tubes died within a couple of days
of using them, I presume the 'harsher' start was what did for them?

In my garage, workshops and hut I have around 20 fluorescent fittings
of various sizes, all using ballasts and starters. All are less
frequently turned on than my utility light, so I have not intention of
swapping those over to an E-Ballast.
