![]() From what I have read, I plan to change mine around the 10-12 month mark. Totally necessary? Maybe not, but you will get the most from the lights that way I figure. Plus the price of bulbs arent too* bad. You could always do one at a time over say a month till they are all new.
HTH!

![]() I change mine at 8 months, although from my understanding they are ok to go 12 months. I'd rather be safe than sorry...newer are always better.

![]() Those who sell T5's claims that white bulbs run 24 month blue/actinics are 18 month.
However if you read German forums they change every 6 month. So i guess 10-12 month is OK, say every Boxing Day. But these are only like $24 (in my case), so if one wants to change earlier to get most out of the bulb then sure why not? |
