7,000 to 15,000 hoursClick to see full answer. Correspondingly, how long does fluorescent light last?A typical 32-watt, 48-inch fluorescent lamp will burn for about 20,000 hours, if normally left on for about three hours at a time. The same lamp, left on 24 hours a day, will last about 34,000 hours. The lifespan of any fluorescent lamp depends on how long it is left on.Also, when should fluorescent tubes be replaced? Black ends But you should have replacement bulbs on hand for the day when they begin flickering, take a long time to fire up or finally give up completely. That’s because running a fluorescent fixture with a burned-out bulb will damage the ballast. Also to know, is it cheaper to leave a fluorescent light on? You may have heard people say: “It’s best to leave fluorescent lights on: it’s cheaper than switching them on and off”. It is true that switching on/off fluorescents reduces lamp life but lamps are designed to be switched on/off up to seven times a day without any effect on their life.How do you know if a fluorescent tube is blown? Check the ends of the tube. If they appear darkened this indicates the bulb is burned out. Rotate the tube in the fixture if the bulb is not darkened on either end. Remove the bulb from the fixture if the bulb is still not illuminating.
