We've got one over the kitchen sink that is on 10-12 hours a day, sometimes 24
when the last one to bed, which is almost always me, forgets to turn it off. I
installed the fixture, so I know exactly how long it's been there with the
original tube: 11 years. I can't tell it's any dimmer now than then, and the
ends are only the tiniest bit, and equally, darker.
But, hey, since I have now been informed by Steven that using a laptop LCD
screen "for color-critical work or Photoshop editing...forget it, every laptop
display I have seen are pretty junk for that application..." then I guess I'll
just find myself another hobby. What I thought was simple muddling must not
even qualify for that lowest possible level of performance.
Or maybe I'll just get some bug spray and get the spiders out of the darkroom.
More fun, better results.
