Hi,
Hope someone can help with some advice:
I have several light fittings employing variously 3 & 4 of these lamps.
I have tried several brands, mostly of Asian manufacture, & I seem to
achieve a life of only a few hundred hours before failure.
Supply is 240VAC, Queensland Australia.
Brand I tried last is: "Firton" - Dichoic lamp, 51mm GU10+C, 260V, 50W,
2000h long life. Bulb cannot be touched due to glass encapsulation.
Any ideas?

Pete
