eh, the life of the bulbs won't be too much of a problem
2000-3000 hours on average so...
on the good scale: 8 hours per day = 1 year
on the bad scale: 5 1/2 hours per day = 1 year
I'll probably end up selling this before the end of a year anyways or it will just lay unused or rarely used.
Bulb prices won't matter too much next year because I'll finally get a job and i can afford paying $200-300 a year
