BAD - The Claim Life Cycle Testing Standard
is Three (3) Hours a Day One-On and One-Off
Per 24 Hour Period in theory. This may be
accelerate by only letting the Bulb 'cool down'
for only One Hour and then repeating the Cycle.
This would then result in Six "Daily Use" Cycles
in One Day with a 6000 Hour MTBF Life Cycle
Test taking about 334 Days (Less then One Year).

I once read somewhere many years ago that if a tv set is turned off,to
wait at least fifteen minutes before turnng the tv set back on.The
owners manual that came with my new Whirlpool window unit airconditioner
says if the unit is turned off,to wait three minutes before turning it
back on.

GE's claim Life Cycle Testing Standard is Four (4) Hours a Day
One-On and One-Off Per 24 Hour Period in Theory. This may be
Accelerate by only letting the Bulb 'cool down' for only
48 Minutes and then repeating the Cycle. This would then result

Cycle Test taking about 300 Days (About 10 Months).

I find it amusing that a company that builds power plants also sells
terribly inefficient lighting devices.

DaviD,

Kind of interesting,I think.The oldest man made lamps were rocks with
melted fat or some kind of oil for light.If the s... hits the fan big
time,we might all be back to rock lamps.Holy Shades of Fred Flintstone!
