From my experience with mains halogen the bulbs usually supplied with
fittings, the slightly less expensive units from Screwstation etc. and
anything from the sheds have short lives.

This probably explains why in the sheds it is cheaper to buy a fitting
with a bulb than a replacement bulb (certainly if you buy 4 bulb
fittings).
