Read Bart Smith's thoughts on these lamps. http://www.bluecinetech.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=A1%2F231 They are probably for disco use where long life is useful. They may not have the correct colour temperature for film projection.

As Blue Cine-Tech and Maurice quite rightly points out here, anything other than a Xenophot lamp made by Osram with Xenon filler gas, is a complete compromise for Super 8mm projection purposes.
At around £5 per lamp for 50hrs, it just isn't worth trying to seek any other cheaper or longer lasting alternative in my book.
