Hey Guys,
This is my first reply on this forum. Having been an old power co. electrical engineer, this subgect is interesting to me. I don't know if the bulbs discussed here are incandescent or not. If so, an overvoltage reduces the life of the bulb dramatically. I too have had some bulb failure recently & the manufacturer tech. said they do not recommend an incandescent We changed to Halogen & no longer have any problems. The 35watt bulbs mentioned are probably better made than the lower wattage bulbs.
