Default CF bulb failure mode?

I have a 96 watt CustomSeaLife Smartlight that stopped working. The lamp
will not light at all. The bulb has been in service for 3+ years. Is this
a typical bulb failure given the amount of use the bulb has seen?

Unfortunately I was not around when it failed. Before I spend $50 on
another bulb it would be reasuring to know that fluorescents will fail
this way rather than the possibility of my ballast going AWOL. Have other
folks had good luck with these fixtures?

Thanks for any input.
