35W 12V Hikari Bulb

[Pyzon]

Anybody have any feedback regarding Hikari G4 bipin halogen bulbs ?

This particular one claims to have 2000 hours life at 12V and approximately 450 lumens. The only number I can find is 35T3/12V. With a 2000 hour life this one might be begging for 3 of AW's C cells. Color might be crappy though. At a cost of $15 for 10 bulbs shipped it might still have possibilities.

OOPS, here's also a 20 watt 6 volt, 2000 hours and 320 lumens, 20T3/6V stock number, same price.

Thanks for any comments, pro or con.

It sounds pretty cheap - but something like the '5761' claims 765 lumens as a 30w bulb off 6v - cost about $4.50-5.50 each - downside is that it's only good for about 100 hours.

If you wanted 12v - something like the '64275' does 780 lumens as a 35w bulb off 12b - typical cost about $6-7 each - average life even lower - about 50 hours.
