I get that, but the lamp is still a consumable that will wear out again.


==========================================================

A 386 lamp has a MTBF of 15,000 or 40,000 hours depending on what data sheet you look at.

How many hours do you operate your 453 in a lifetime?
You do make an excellent point, although I expect they are somewhat more
sensitive to environmental conditions, temp, vibration, shock and so on.

That said I'm not planning on operating mine on an active volcano either.
