Hi all:
I sent the original post regarding the Radio Shack light bulbs. They are,
in fact, brighter. I have had the lights in for almost 18 months now. I
estimate, conservatively, that they have 50 plus hours on them. No lights
have failed to date. It's an easy, inexpensive exchange that really helps
us old guys that have trouble with dim lights.

Is 30 hours correct? Doesn't sound very long. I could go through a set of
those in two months easily.
