What is a “Long life” bulb?
Long life light bulbs differ from standard light bulbs in 3 ways: • Use of a heavier 5 point filament design. • Use of a variety of gases (krypton, xenon, argon) to stabilize the breakdown of the filament. • Use of a heat deflecting ring at the base of the bulb. Long life bulbs are used in applications where they are lit constantly or are in a difficult place to replace. Our long life bulb is designed to last 23,000 hours.
