I have a pair of those from Harbor Freight. Gonna mount them in the

aluminum
gear leg fairings with one of Jim's flashers for anti-collision.


Two thoughts, (rather questions) on the subject.

Don't they have a pretty slow heat up, cool down time? If the answer is
yes, they would not be as recognizable as something that had an instant off
(dark), instant on (bright) cycle - like LED's, would they? Or is that not
a big factor?

Is the quartz halogen evaporation, condensation cycle a problem in terms of
short burn out time, when it is cycled on and off, without time to stay hot?
I have no idea, just a question. Are they commonly used with flashers
without problem?

Putting them in gear fairings does seem like a good idea, though.
