Compared to incandescent bulbs, fluorescent lamps are long-lived. Many are rated at 20,000 or even 30,000 hours of life (which is about 3Â½ years). Manufacturer's ratings of fluorescent lamp life are based on operating groups of lamps in a cycle of 3 hours on and 20 minutes off until all the lamps fail. The rated life is the time by which half the bulbs have failed.
