if u touch the bulb when installing u potentially shorten its life coz oil from ur skin causes hot spots

High powered bulbs burn out quickewr due to the gases inside. Found this out after a had some Electrablu bulbs a while back which lasted a month or so, wrote to Phillips and they gave the life storey of a bulb and gave me some xenon ones free:cool:
