As ar as the PAR36 stuff is concerned, you are right on. I haven't used one since like 97' or so. The lamp life is way shorter then an MR16 even if they burn normally. The old 4414 that use to come standard in Nightscaping well lights had like 400 hrs of life. I found out one day from a bulb supplier that they were actually bus signal light bulbs. No kidding. They have an interesting spread but the lamp life always weighs out for me. I'm surprised to hear Cast has a PAR36 fixture.

I thought you guys were talking about some other issue that increasing that wattage demand solved. I was definately curious.
