Wondering if I wreaked my bulb?

[michika]

In my experience most bulbs are ment to last at least a year. I've had one burn out before the 3 month mark, and it was exchanged as we concluded it was faulty.

I would probably speak to whomever you purchased the bulb from if they are burning out so quickly.

I blew a Ushio by bumbing the switch so it cycled in about 1 second.
but leaving it off for a minute shouldn't hurt it

Went right to Hamilton, told something like though not common, burning out after 6 months not necessarily considered a premature failure.

But if I loose another one after 6 months I'll be changing to a different company.
