90% of the wear on a bulb is the inrush current when you turn it on. A

aware of use ICLs.

Hey Jim -- If you can stand looking at this horrible website for a
minute, what do you think of the Pulsar?

Mike (the owner) is very active on the Cherokee Pilots Association, and
several folks who have this flashing unit say that their bulbs last
damn-near forever. Does that mean they use ICLs?
