Question Do standup lamps need flipping?

Do you need to flip the lamps every once and awhile on a standup unit? I read an advertisement for vertical lamps that didn’t require flipping. Is this true or just a marketing ploy?



Thanks
John

Re: Do standup lamps need flipping?

The thoery behind flipping lamps in the stand up is that heat rises in the unit & causes excess stress on the top cathode/filament, thus causing premature failure of lamps. It can't hurt to wipe down the lamps & flip them at about 200-250 hrs.
