PC bulb replacement

How often do you replace PC bulbs? I have the 96w quad and was just wondering how long they last on average.

 

Thanks,

They start to lose output after about 6 months, and afte a year they're pretty low output compared to new. So figure 6 months if you want no problems, or up to a year if you're trying to save money. But watch out for nuisance algae growth increasing... that's a sign that the bulb needs replacing.
