Question Deepen my knowledge...

Hey everyone.... Just trying to deepen my knowledge.
The life of low pressure bulbs lasts between 800-1200 hours, correct? But most of you change them way before they hit there "end".
So my question, is how much do you pay in just one base bed (32 bulbs) and how often do you change them (hours, and about how many people can tan on new bulbs before you have to change them again)?
Thanks!

My 100W lamps are rated for 1200, 12 minute max, 3847 sessions on one of them and there's about 650 hours on them.

Re: Deepen my knowledge...

Depends. Some used to be close to that $20 mark, but I haven't checked in a while. Just depends on when you buy them too. Bulbs have to be planted in the fall, so they're more expensive then. Get them in the winter or the spring when they're not in demand. I forget when annuals need to be planted, I just know they only come up once a year, like income taxes. ~shrug, sniff~

Re: Deepen my knowledge...

I went through a long and detailed answer for you until I realized this was posted in the Open Forum. Move it to the IP Forum were it belongs for an answer.
