6 years on a PIR wear marks.
...or rather the complete lack of them.

German made Osram Dulux 18w 835 PL-C lamp on an Osram HF Quicktronic ballast which gives a nice good preheat start.
Converted the coach lantern on the front of my house 6 years ago and it’s still kicking with a lamp that looks brand new.
Hasn’t done many hours as the lamp only stays on for a couple of minutes when triggered but it must have racked up quick a few starts over the years!

Done well to last that long!

Surprised the ballast has lasted tbh. That coach lantern isn’t exactly what you’d call IP rated.

No different from a set of gear in a column base though?
FrontSideBus   [06 Apr, 2020 at 11:52 AM]
True, but this gear is supposed to be in a recessed downlight or something in a nice warm building lol.

These lamps seem to last rather well in my expierience.

These lanterns are usually about IP44.
