re capping

I hear the phrase 'recapping'. when do you know when you should 're cap' an amplifier? I have a McIntosh mc602 amp that sounds fine to me. I also have a McIntosh mx132 that works ok for me. I also have a bose 901 series 2 active equalizer that seems to work ok. the 'red' on light kinda flashes now and then. if my system sounds ok, should I worry about my units?

thanks roberjerman. but by keeping my units on 24/7, would'nt the bulbs burn out faster?

doe's re-capping depend on how many hours you use your equipment. if you bought a new unit and only use it 8 hours a week. when would you know if you need re-capping?
