In regards to you wanting a years worth of testing first before purchasing our fixture, I assume you will be waiting a year, other than that to meet your criteria for testing you will have to go for the other lamp you suggest, if of course it is still available, I have struggled in research to find adequate supply chain of this unit, but maybe I am lacking somewhere.
To clear this testing up and get back to the actual lamp thread, Fauna will do the same that all other light manufacturers do in regards to product launch and new products. As there is no accurate governing body in testing such equipment other than certification testing the lamp, we (just as other main stream manufactuers) will not be giving/loaning/selling cheap to any hobbyist or such like that states they have some sort of knowledge in testing a fixture.
Why - As you have all debated, there is no warrantable body out there that ALL could trust.
So we, just like all other manufacturers, will use buyer feedback to decide on the lamp, this is no different than geissman or other quality brands.
What we will do however is continue to answer your questions openly and make sure our dealers have access to demo units to display to you prior to purchase.
There is always a draw back with providing such open pre launch information as this, interested parties will always argue above and beyond what is feasibly possible for a manufacturer to agree to.
Please keep your great technical questions about this important fixture coming
