As a follow up on the problems with GU10 Megaman bulbs I have found in the
packaging is a leaflet, this changes the claim yet again. In one part you
are again wrongly told a life of 15.000 but hunt about with a magnifying
glass and you find “up to15,000 hrs”. So in this they are not even saying
your average life may be 15,000 but that this is the maximum you can expect.
This latter is in my experience the reality.

You need a bigger magnifying glass.

I'm sure if you look *really* carefully it will say somewhere that to
achieve the 15,000 hours you have to get Dynamo Hansen to come and
bless your house.

He's the only one who's CFL's arent 33% dimmer than they say to start
with, who's CFL's don't suffer from tube end blackening, don't suffer
from the phosphor getting scoured away where the tube bends, don't
produce a poor light with a nasty discontinuous spectrum, don't
deteriorate over 12 months service (48% in my case), and have an
average life longer than 6 - 18 months.
