Lifespan of Tek Light fixtures?

What's the average lifespan of the Tek Light T5 Fixtures? How long do the ballasts usually last for and are they hard/expensive to change?

Its an easy fix if they break. Should be good for 5-10 years.

Thanks, I see youre from Colorado. What are the good reefing clubs around there? I will be moving there in 3 years. Chicago has a pretty good reefing community.
