did they give you a bulb replacement period and price? I know they said 50000 hours but they also said upto and we also change out MH bulbs at about 1/4-1/2 of there life span.

Hi Steve, according to Luxim, lamp life is expected to be in between 30000-50000 hrs. At 10 hrs use a day that equates to 8-12 years life span. Sfiligoi has said replacement cost of the plasma lamp/bulb is apparently pennies.
The Plasma is supposed to hold a steady intensity throughout lamp life in comparison to the decline in performance you witness with MH and some high powered LED's.
