I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the expected lamp life is for the UV Wash unit. I've had my unit for a couple of years, but I only rarely use it (mostly around Halloween). Anyway, I needed to check something under a blacklight the other day, and the lamp suddenly died! I was really surprised and a little disappointed--I can't have gotten more than 36 hours of use total out of the lamp mine shipped with. And yet, the lamps are almost 1/3 of the cost of the whole unit. If that's the kinda life span I can expect from these things, I'm not sure it's worth it to replace it :-( Anyone else have any experience with these?
