I don't think the tri-phospher, high frequency ones have been around 10 years. You can get standard 15mm tubes as well, I agree that they don't seam to last very long. There is also the problem of disposal. A business has to treat them (all fluorescent lamps) as hazardous waste and have them removed by a licensed contractor. Householders just throw them in the bin.
