The reason that dimming reduces the life of the bulb is that there is a change in the voltage on the filament. Bulbs require a certain amount of voltage to strike an arch from cathode to cathode. An this causes the cathode of the tube to wear down more over time than the basic on/off of a florescent bulb.

So my fancy heat sink will not help at all...
