How often do you change out your t5 bulbs? I have had the same bulbs for almost a year and was just curious how long they last. Thanks.

If very little lumen loss happens through the life of the bulb, why replace them all? I put a new one in as they fail. They are not HPS bulbs that dwindle as they are used. Why waste them? Lumen output still burns bright and my plants have zero complaints.
