what\'s the lamp life for flourescent tubes?
hmmm i got a question guys what's the lamp life anyways for these flourescent tubes? i heard its pretty long so there's not much fear of it dying in like 20 hrs "ala incandescents". that's the main property that i like about it. I'm really interested in getting the coleman remote control lantern it looks night but then at the store they also have this coleman northstar lantern for the same price looks nicer but the runtimes are shorter than the remote control one around 28 hrs low and 13 hrs high. must be running a higher wattage tube in there! which would you guys get? oh and i read the remote control one runs a 9watt tube. how many lumens do those suckers usually give out or what's the equivalent wattage bulb for a incandescent with the same light output. i seem to be asking alot here. please bear with me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
