I always thought Xenon lamps were expensive.
But if you take into considiration they last 1000 hrs instead of 50 hrs for a halogen, they are even cheaper!

1284 ELC 24V-250W 50 hr 16-CL/CLTC, 16-F, 16-AL $21.60
1353 KXL-252HF 250W Xenon 1000 hr 16-CL Xenon $360.00

Do Xenon lamps have a limited shelf life? Can anyone direct me to an authoritative reference on the subject?

Wow I wish I could use those inexpensive Xenon bulbs. I can't find the Ushio UXL-1000-DA for much less than $800.00.

Wayne, of course I'm just talking about a simple 250W Xenon bulb.
Unfortunately your 1000W will be much more expensive (and only last 1000hrs too).

And Glenn, I really hope these bulbs don't have a limited shell life.
I actually never heard about shell life when it comes to bulbs.

I know Hans...that is why I now know I should have purchased a smaller machine with a long play unit instead of my pedestal. I still might one day [Cool]
