3-5 years out of a ballast? That gets expensive. People are always tearing out old fluorescent fixtures, especially from offices. I guess I should salvage the ballasts out of the good old ones. What I find frustrating is how picky the fixtures are about what lamps will work well in them, or how picky the lamps are about what fixtures they like. It should be that any tube will work in any fixture, like a screw-in bulb, but that's certainly not the case. Price of the tubes has nothing to do with it, though the price of the fixtures does. The new low-mercury tubes seem to be particular difficult.
