Re: Lamp starters replaced how often?

Depends on the starter & bed. Many 100W units can go about 3 lamp changes on a standard starter. 160W should be changed every other lamp change. 180W Plus should be changed almost every lamp change.

A $1 starter can ruin a $15 lamp.

There are also Electronic starters that last almost forever in the right applications. I wouldn't recommend them in all units but they do great in many units.
