Not sure about the rating, but I've used mine for a few hours and no problems. Considering the price I'd just get a few spare bulbs and you will probably be set for as long as you need.
I'd go with the HO-R5, its the only one designed to run at 8.4v. The factory bulb and Philips G4 are 6v bulbs OVERDRIVEN at 8.4v, that's why there are huge variances as to how long those bulbs will last being driven at those voltages. My Philips G4 lasted only 2mins before burning out, but by heck it was a solarflare for 2mins!
When they come in, i will see about that lol. If they all burn out, I might get an HO-R5 then.
I had a WF-500 with a HO-R5, and it's a great light.Quote:
