    Just wondering, what is the life expectancy of a cold cathode light (PCMods)? I use it at night mainly, for about 3hrs a day.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that it was about 15,000 hours...so with your current usage, I make that 13years life!

    as long as you don't break it, it will last a lifetime basically. But they're all gonna end up dying before that from breakage....they're so damn fragile :(
