Back in the day, I worked in the printing field in the prepress section of a large commercial printing plant. We used pulse xenon lamps rated from 1Kw to 10Kw for exposing daylight films, proofing materials as well as printing plates. These lamps regularly were replaced once a year or sooner in case of failure. Cotton gloves were required to keep fingerprint oils off of the quartz glass in order to avoid a future hot spot where the lamp would fail. Costing well over $100 a piece we took precautions. Those conditions do not cross over to tubes. I still use cotton gloves as I just hate seeing prints on tubes! Being fastidious became second nature as we worked in a mostly dust free, temperature controlled environment as contaminants were the bane of our existence.
