Hi, I searched the forums, but no mention
of the FXL/5 bulb.

My OHP uses 410w FXL bulbs,
on average FXL are supposed to last 50-75 hrs
(GE, Osram)..

FXL/5 are supposed to last 100 hrs, which
seems like a better deal, they have them for
$8.95 at shopcousinsvideo.com

anyone have any experience with these?
can they be install into a regular FXL
bulb system, or is it only for special OHP?

also, anyone know if there is a difference in
brightness? maybe longer lasting has less
lumens?
 
I wrote to them and they said that it will work fine.
However, there is a slight decrease in brightness,
don't know how much, though...

I found Osram 75hour for 8.65 at Bulbconnection.com
not bad.. I will be going with these for now..

I'll see if I can get my hands on one of those 100 hr
bulbs later and compare the brightness myself
