Yeah manufacturers will likely state longer bulb life just like 12 months for Halides and 18 months for T5s which isn't the case if you want to keep your par levels up.

Diddo, it's just a time thing like any other bulb you use on your tank. About 6 months if on a full duty cycle, could potentially last a year if on half cycle.
