How long can new VHO lights be stored without use?

I want to buy a three years supply. Is this ok?

I'm not even sure they have a shelf life, just keep them cool and dry. 3 years would not be a problem......I wouldn't even worry about 10 years

I don't think they have a shelf life and wouldn't go bad. When I used 6 Ft T12 VHOs, I used to order 2 extra in order to reduce the overall shipping cost. Box is oversized.

Ask UV Lighting and see what they say. 1-800-435-7779
