Is this included lamp the Ushio Ultraline 10,000 hour MR16? If so you may have a big issue on your hands as these lamps are known far and wide to not provide anywhere near their life rating in real world applications.

I switched to Ushio Ultraline's in 2007 and spend the better part of 2008 replacing them all at no charge to my clients. Most failed after only 700 to 1000 hours of operation. Ushio failed to report back as to what happened, and replaced a few of them with more ultralines, which I still have on my shelf. No explanation as to why these are failing early but I am not the only one who will not use them. The issue is widely acknowledged in the industry.

James,

Thank you for your interest. We do not use USHIO lamps, and I was not aware of those problems. Our 10,000-hour lamp is from Sylvania, which has had an excellent track record.

Thanks for you inquiries.
