I'm going to repeat my question so it's group visible:
Basically I was wondering for multiplexed vs direct drive, if given the
same voltage and current
>From what I've read, the peak current is what leads to tube wearout, and
the effect is exponential: double the current, and the lifetime will be
less than half the normal expectancy. So when a tube is pulsed, such as
with multiplexing, the perceived brightness will always be lower compared
to
