Average Life of facial Bulb? - Page 3

Neon Beach · 11-18-2005, 08:59 PM

I was always under the impression that 400 was the max.

~shrug~

So this is good news!! Will they last longer if we chill them?

well I changed out one bed at 450 hours and I'm letting another bed go (as an experiment) and see if customers complain or if they burn. The other bed is now approaching 600hrs and I've yet to hear a complaint and they meter only a touch under the new ones (doesn't mean much as I don't have a starting point for them)

Ah Haaa!!! I don't think I'll wait for that moment. I'm changing at at least @ 400 hrs. Rather safe than sorry.

FEH! Add another one to that list. Now if I can only remember which one of the four I replaced recently.

Does anyone notice a difference between brands? This is our first replacement for them.

I have decided to stick with Hereaus since that is what was in it when I bought it and it did fine. I am hearing SO many different stories on different brands, I'll stick with these. TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO confusing!

We are using Gregs facial lamps now, we'll see how they do.

Hereaus are the best HP lamps available.

I stuck the Phillips in one bed and I've got Heraeus coming and I'll stick them in the other and see if anyone notice a difference.

You should get 700+ hopurs from The Blue Soliel brand that I sell.
