Hello Baden and fellow bulb heads,
Do you call your observations a scientific study? I don't. Of course, any
appliance that's hardly ever used will last longer than one that is used
on a regular basis.
What's this about 2% brightness? Surely that must be a typo! I would
consider that lamp dead, even at 20% brightness!
I just don't get it. Especially in the UK, there seem to be so many
problems with flourescents it's a wonder anyone uses them. I have never
in my life seen such problems, either a lamp works or it doesn't. When a
flourescent goes dead, it simply refuses to start and when it's on a
starter ballast it comes on so dim with little spots in it that it is
totally useless and of course must be replaced. I have never seen one
gradually dim with age.
Being I see no difference in the lamps themselves, only the ballast
designed for a different voltage and frequency, maybe some enterprising
gent will import them from the US and solve your problems. (;->)
