My DW worked at a county health department doing restaurant inspections, and their requirement for commercial systems was for logging bulb replacements every year. This is the same schedule that we've been using for over a decade, and our replacement date is 4/15 so its hard to forget.
There are now UV LED bulbs on the market now with longer service lives, if you want to run a TCO calculation on upgrading.....

I assume mine is like yours - the UV light being similar in length to a fluorescent bulb that goes in a sleeve. If so, are you suggesting I clean the inside of the sleeve? I've never done that, suppose I would need some sort of narrow duster or something as it is enclosed and rather long. If you clean it, what do you use?
You think there might be some dust / dirt or something inside that might be degrading the bulb life?
