Anyone had trouble with their M-HID light-sets? My Edison-10's just
blown up (stopped working - fortunately at the start of a commute, so
I wasn't stranded in the dark)
The HIDs only have lifetime of c400-500 cycles, but mine was only a
year old (just under actualy, so hopeuflly will get replaced under
guarantee) wasn't used in the summer, so I reckon it's only been on
200 times tops, probably closer to half that.
The lesson seems to be: carry a spare. Checking out the Lupine
website, the Edison is no longer the King, LEDs rule the roost now
with the Lupine Betty 12. Burn times seem far greater, brightness is
almost doubled! and I'm assuming they're much more reliable without
the ballast/bulb issues the Edison encounters.
Any experience/comments good or bad with the Edison or Betty?
Regards,
Duncan
