Anyone know what kind of lifespan electronic dimmable ballasts have? I heard they had a 10% failure rate, and wonder if surge protection in an office would help cut back on failing ballasts and quad pin CFL bulbs? The bulb holders in the trim were missing screws to support the quad pin tubes from touching the potlight housing... I assumed that would cause the bulbs to prematurely wear from grounding(bonding) them at the point of contact?
